Latest Transfer News: Frankie De Jong to Manchester United seems a possibility now, Gabriel Jesus looks Arsenal bound

In the latest transfer news, Frankie De Jong to Manchester United is almost complete according to reports. While, Arsenal have identified Gabriel Jesus as an attacking option this summer.

Erik Ten Hag to reunite with Frankie De Jong at Manchester United?

Manchester United are weighing up a potential £75million move for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

Incoming United manager Erik ten Hag has identified De Jong, 25, as an ideal target, having coached him at Ajax and the Manchester Evening News understands United have contacted Barcelona about De Jong's potential availability.

Barcelona and United sources have suggested reports of an imminent deal are wide of the mark but United are determined to move swiftly for a midfielder to offset the imminent departures of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic. Pogba is believed to favour rejoining Juventus, despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

De Jong is contracted to Barcelona until 2026, having joined the club from Ajax for £65m in 2019, but the emergence of Pedri and Gavi in midfield has plunged his future into doubt. The Catalan club have also experienced financial problems and De Jong's sale could be needed to help fund new signings.

Latest Transfer News: Is Gabriel Jesus North London bound?

Arsenal have lodged an opening offer as they attempt to lure Gabriel Jesus to north London, according to reports.

The Manchester City forward is heavily linked with the exit door at the Etihad following the announcement of Erling Haaland's signing - which is set to hamper his minutes. Jesus has several suitors eyeing him but the Gunners have made a bid of £42m (€50m) for the Brazilian, reports Goal.

Arsenal are seeking to add more firepower and Jesus has proven his credentials in the Premier League. He recently scored four in a win over Watford, taking his total for the season to 13. Mikel Arteta made his interest in the player clear with Emirates chief Edu acting on such a request.

City are in fact looking for a fee closer to the £51m (€60m) mark, but the Gunners have opened the bidding as they look to win the race for his signature. Jesus' agent Marcelo Pettinati has confessed that the English side are just one of seven teams interested in the Brazilian.

He said: "We had talks with Arsenal about Gabriel Jesus, we like the project - it's a possibility we're discussing. There are six more clubs interested in Gabriel - he's focused on final games with Man City, we'll see".
