Manchester City is attempting to strengthen their midfield this summer, as they have lost Ilkay Gundogan to a Bosman transfer and Bernardo Silva’s future at the Etihad.
They were also interested in signing Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice for the 2023/24 season, but Bellingham has signed Real Madrid and Rice is close to joining Arsenal. As a potential alternative to Bellingham and Rice, Manchester City is prepared to pay €110 million to retain the Dutchman.
However, it is uncertain when de Jong will be ready to leave Barcelona, as he has stated that he is pleased and comfortable at Camp Nou. Manchester City may struggle to entice the Dutch international to join them this summer.
