Barcelona are reportedly set to prioritise selling Frenkie de Jong this summer after agreeing a transfer with Leeds United for Raphinha.
The Catalan giants have been pursuing the Brazilian throughout the transfer window, competing with Chelsea for his signature, with the Blues agreeing a fee with Leeds for the winger.
While Barcelona initially failed to make a suitable offer, they decided to match Chelsea’s offer of £60m up front with a further £5m in add-ons.
The bid should open the door for a move to Camp Nou for Raphinha who regards Barcelona as his preferred destination.
While Raphinha could be on his way in, according to the Mirror, Barcelona will turn their focus to offloading Frenkie de Jong, who has been linked with a transfer to Manchester United.
United manager Erik ten Hag is keen to reunite with the player he once managed at Ajax, although De Jong has expressed a desire to remain at Camp Nou.
The midfielder is also owed £17m in unpaid wages, which is proving to be a stumbling block in a potential transfer, although Barcelona are confident that they can come to an agreement with De Jong over the matter.
De Jong, who has four years remaining on his current contract, has made 130 appearances for Barcelona.
