Frenkie De Jong persuaded Robert Lewandowski to join Manchester United?

German League News: The future of Robert Lewandowski is still unclear, after he admitted that he wanted to leave in the summer of 2022 this time, while Bayern Munich was reluctant to let him go. In recent weeks, the 33-year-old has also been widely rumored to be joining Barcelona, although until now it is still just a rumor.

Meanwhile, Barcelona midfielder, Frenkie de Jong, admitted that he hoped to be able to play in the same team as Robert Lewandowski. This seems to encourage Lewandowski to join him at Barca.

"He's an extraordinary player, one of the best in the world. It's up to him. Of course I would like to have him in my team!” said Frenkie de Jong, quoted from page 90Min.

However, judging from the transfer rumors that developed in the media, it could be that De Jong's words were part of his efforts to persuade Lewandowski to join Manchester United. As is known, De Jong has a great opportunity to leave Barcelona and join Manchester United this summer.

It is also claimed that transfer talks are ongoing, even the 90Min website believes that the two clubs will reach an agreement on the transfer of De Jong and his medical will take place after the June 2022 international break ends. With Manchester United, he will again be handled by Erik ten Hag, who is none other than his former coach at Ajax Amsterdam.

When asked about his chances of joining the Red Devils team, De Jong was still shy about admitting it.

"No, I can't, I can't say anything," De Jong replied with a smile.
