“There are clubs that want him, not just United. We have no intention of selling him, he wants to stay,” Barcelona president Joan Laporta has just told reporters about Frenkie de Jong’s future, as quoted by Reshad Rahman.
“Frenkie is considered as one of the best midfielders in the world by all the experts. We are happy to have him.
