If Barcelona allow Pierre-Emerick and Frenkie to leave this month, they are ready to sign them.
Last month, Manchester United agreed to pay a £72m fee to sign De Jong, but he is still owed 17 million dollars in deferred wages and will not leave until he's paid. Barcelona wants him to stay but only if he agrees to take a pay cut and accept a settlement for his deferred wages.
Unlike United, who are unwilling to match the £72m offer, the Blues are willing to do the same thing.
There was a free transfer fromArsenal to Barcelona. His contract is three years old. Tuchel is interested in working with a player who scored more than 70 goals in two seasons with him.
Tuchel's priority is to sign a centre-back and a forward this month, and he is increasingly confident that he can agree a deal to sign Fofana. It would be hard for them to turn down an offer of close to £80m.
Cesare Casadei hasn't yet played for the first team at Inter Milan, but they're asking for £12 million for him.
The Blues will be buying players for now and the future this summer. They signed Chukwuemeka from Villa in a 20 million dollar deal. Gabriel Slonina, an 18-year-old goalkeeper from the Chicago Fire, and 18-year-old winger from theArsenal, have been signed by them.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have continued to work on all of their options in the middle of the field as a deal for De Jong has been difficult to complete.
There is still a belief that there is a deal to be done, despite the fact that United have not given up. It has been a priority position for United all summer, and they are close to an agreement in principle for the signing of the Bianconeri player. Signing both of them is still possible.
