Chelsea are believed to be favourites for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

According to transfer expert Gerard Romero, De Jong is expected to leave Barcelona this week.

Romero has suggested that the Dutchman will join Chelsea this summer.

The Blues are believed to have made an offer worth €70m plus Marcos Alonso for the midfielder, latest reports claims.

Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has admitted he’s unsure of the future of De Jong, and claims that anything can happen before transfer deadline.

Xavi said after Barcelona’s last pre-season match: “I don’t know what will happen to Frenkie de Jong. Until August 31, anything can happen, but he knows what I think and what the club want and need.

“Of course I’m counting on him, he’s a great player.”
