FRENKIE DE JONG'S agent is set to hold talks with Barcelona over his client's future amid Manchester United's reported interest.
According to Mundo Deportivo, De Jong's representative Ali Dursun is schedule to fly to the Catalan capital within the next few days.
The Spanish outlet adds that manager Xavi would only agree to the midfielder's departure if the club signed a worthy replacement.

The same report suggests Xavi would agree to let the 25-year-old go if the Catalan giants signed Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski.
