One of the areas in the Paris Saint-Germain squad that needs fixing is the midfield, and many are curious as to how incoming sporting advisor Luis Campos will help address the weakness within the team. 

Despite not being officially on the job, reports of targets Campos has in mind are surfacing through various reports. FC Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is one of them, as it seems the Spanish club could let the 25-year-old leave if they get a substantial offer. 

However, Manchester United appears to be ready to swoop in and steal the Netherlands international to reunite him with former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford. 

According to Sport, the Premier League club appears to be ready to meet the demands laid out by the La Liga side. The two parties are in advance discussions, and they could find an agreement of around €80-million

If Barça does not retain its midfielder, it is mainly because its financial accounts that are in the red. Furthermore, the club is still looking to reduce its debt and control its wage bill. Should Manchester United secure a deal for de Jong, then Campos will have to look elsewhere to improve the position for next season.
