Tuchel and new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly are reportedly keen to inject youth into the club’s midfield ranks, with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante both over 30 and approaching the end of their contracts. Returning loanee Conor Gallagher will provide some assurance in that department, but the boss is an ‘admirer’ of De Jong, and a player of his calibre would surely be a welcome addition to the squad.
The 25-year-old has been a regular for Barca since heading to the Camp Nou in a big-money deal back in 2019. Last term he bagged three goals and three assists in the league, but he is best known for his accurate forward passing and press resistance.
United’s Dutch recruitment drive involves several other stars, which could help soften the blow if their De Jong deal falls through at the eleventh hour.
