Barca 'name their asking price for Man United & Chelsea target Frenkie de Jong'

Barcelona have reportedly named their asking price for highly-rated midfielder Frenkie de Jong amid interest from the Premier League.

The Netherlands international looked all but set to join Manchester United in 2022 after the Premier League club put in a £70m bid but De Jong instead opted to stay with the LaLiga giants.

However, After growing increasingly discontent with the issues on and off the pitch, the 26-year-old is reportedly now open to a switch.

The Red Devils have maintained an interest in the midfielder while rivals Chelsea have also been monitoring the 26-year-old's situation.

Now, it appears that the Premier League sides have been informed on what De Jong's price-tag will be in the summer, ahead of a potential bidding war between the two.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants have placed an £85million (€100million) price-tag on the midfielder.

De Jong himself recently insisted that he's 'very satisfied' at Barcelona but also refused to rule out a potential move in the future.

While speaking to Dutch outlet NOS about his current situation, and when asked about a possible move to another league, he replied: 'Possibly. But I'm very satisfied at Barca. It's always difficult to say. For now I feel good here.

He added: 'I am in the club where I always wanted to be, where I dreamed.'

De Jong has made 16 starts for Barca this season, scoring just once - with an ankle injury keeping him out for two months of the campaign.

The Dutchman came under fire last month after he was accused of feigning illness to miss Barcelona's 3-2 defeat against Antwerp, with his agent angrily dismissing the reports as 'fake news'.

Catalan outlet RAC1 had suggested that the player rang Deco to inform the Barca chief of his status, but
