Could this week be the week United FINALLY give up on FDJ? Top journos have now started to report Chelsea have stepped in and agreed a fee with Barca for the player.
He prefers to stay at Barca but would rather take a move to Chelsea than United.
Have to say Chelsea have been recruiting fantastically this summer! Despite losing 3/4 targets to Barca then then very quickly moved on and got their deals done with their back up targets.
Gone Frenkie Gone?

And that they're a better side than us and have been for a while.
I think the vast majority of players will pick Chelsea over us these days.

The hope was that working with Ten Hag again would have swayed him

According to the Athletic they’re not particularly close. The CL isn’t the be all and end all but I guess we’re not exactly a guarantee of playing in it every season like Chelsea or Barca are so he probably is hedging his bets

Even if FdJ is close to EtH I can imagine most players want to broaden their knowledge of the game and work under a few different coaches and Tuchel is one of the best around.

He’d be great for Chelsea as part of their back 7 under Tuchel.

I agree
Should have clarified that it wasn't my hope
It was part of the narrative at the start of the window that de jong might sign because he had a previous successful working relationship with ten hag
