At Ivorian Midfielder presentation in Barcelona on Wednesday, Laporta reiterated the club's stance on De Jong by saying, “De Jong is a Barcelona player and we, unless we need to, don’t want to sell him."

“We know he has offers. If at anytime one of them interested us, we would sell him. But right now we’re not going to.”

Barcelona already made three signings - Pablo Torres, Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen.

They have been able to break way with their top target Robert Lewandowski while Bernando Silva has also been mentioned as a replacement should De Jong leave on big move to Man Utd.
