KARACHI: Manchester United and Barcelona are close to a 65 million euro fee deal, plus add-ons, for the Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, BBC Sports reported.

According to the details, there are still considerable obstacles to be resolved, and the agreement is not yet finalised.

The development is viewed favourably in terms of the transfer eventually coming to a close.

The 25-year-old is the top summer transfer target for new United manager Erik ten Hag.

Tyrell Malacia, a Dutch defender for Feyenoord, is valued at 15 million euros, and United and Lyon are competing to sign him.

The 22-year-old left-back, who has five caps for the Netherlands, participated in the Feyenoord squad that lost to Roma in the Europa Conference League final last month and played the whole 90 minutes in both of the team's most recent Nations League victory over Wales.

Lyon believed they were in a good position to complete the trade, but United has intervened and expressed interest.
