Manchester City are reportedly targeting Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong as they look to strengthen their midfield options for the upcoming season.

The Dutchman has been a key player for Barca over the past few seasons, and he is highly rated by both his teammates and managers alike. However, it seems that the Catalan giants may not be willing to let him leave this summer, despite the interest from Manchester City.

If De Jong does end up leaving Barcelona, then he could become a valuable addition to Manchester City's squad. The Citizens have struggled with midfield depth in recent years, and De Jong would provide them with a solid option in that area.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester City will be able to secure De Jong's services this summer, but it appears that they are determined to make a move for him. With his skill set and experience, De Jong could help Manchester City take another step forward in the coming season.
