Posted Tuesday, June 28, 2022 by Tribalfootball.com
Former Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman insists Grenkie de Jong doesn't want to be sold.
The midfielder is the subject of intense interest from Manchester United.
Koeman told TV3: “The only thing I know is that Frenkie wants to stay at Barça. A couple of days ago he told me that he wanted to stay. What I don't know is if Barça want to sell him or they need money, because he's one of the few players they can get a decent amount for. For me, De Jong is a great player for Barça."
Koeman also commented on Barca's pursuit of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.
He also said: “Lewandowski is a great player, a scorer, at Bayern he scored 25-30 goals in recent years, but he has a certain age, is he 35? I have my doubts over paying 50 or 60 million for a player, as well as the salary, which will not be small. He might have two years left in him. There are many doubts over whether to sign him or not."
