Frenkie de Jong will continue to dig in his heels at Barcelona.
The Netherlands international was aggressively pursued by Manchester United back in the summer. And Erik ten Hag remains personally keen to reunite with the 25-year-old, who he previously managed at Ajax, despite landing Casemiro from Real Madrid.
Sport says De Jong has no desire to leave Barcelona in the New Year and doesn’t want to jump ship midway through the season.

Yet it’s thought De Jong’s stance is different when it comes to Chelsea, who would be able to offer the 25-year-old a chance to play in the Champions League.
The Netherlands international now feels he can be a key player for Barcelona, despite often being stuck behind the likes of Pedri and Gavi in the club’s pecking order.
