The tabled offer is claimed to include a four-year contract for De Jong, which would see him reach a similar wage to his current deal at Barcelona – so long as certain targets are met. It remains to be seen if this move will go through, with the midfielder showing reluctance to leave Barcelona in the past.

Conor Gallagher on transfer future

Tottenham continue to be linked with a move for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, as his future remains unresolved. The England international is nearing the final year of his deal with the Blues, leading to questions over an exit.

Spurs have been rumoured with a switch since summer 2023, but their interest may be scuppered once again. That’s because Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino claims that Gallagher has told him he is keen to stay at the club.

“Gallagher told me he wants to stay at Chelsea,” the former Tottenham manager told the press. “Other than that, it’s for him and the club to discuss.”
