Xavi has heaped praise on Frenkie de Jong hinting Barcelona won't put the midfielder on the transfer market despite Manchester United's interest.
The Dutchman recently was heavily linked with an Old Trafford move as Erik ten Hag is desperate to get reunited with his fellow countryman.
During the summer, there were rumors that the Premier League outfit and La Liga giants had reached an agreement on a deal for the 25-year-old, however, the player chose to remain in Spain.
However, the Catalans must reduce their salary bill in the summer, and given that the Netherlands international earns a lot of money he was rumored to have become one of the first candidates to depart from Camp Nou.
Meanwhile, speaking to the media, Barca's coach has made it clear the club are 'happy' to have the player in their squad.
“We're seeing the best Frenkie since me and my staff arrived here at Barcelona”.
“De Jong is doing great in both attack and defence, he has brutal confidence and we’re happy with him”. admitted Xavi quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
