FRENKIE DE JONG is now odds-on to STAY at Barcelona rather than head for the Premier League.

That's despite Manchester United's desperation to sign him and Chelsea looking in the box-seat to make the move in this window.

Bookmakers Sky Bet have the midfielder at 1/3 to stay at the Nou Camp this summer – down from 6/5.

Uncertainty over his Barca future has gone on for much of the transfer window.

Recommended:

De Jong was reportedly going to be facing legal action over his contract, while Man Utd seemed in pole position to sign him.

United had agreed a fee of around £63million plus add-ons with Barca but personal terms halted the move.

Attention turned to other targets and now a £60million deal has been agreed with Casemiro of Real Madrid.

United are still 5/2 to sign De Jong though so a move isn't completely ruled out.

Then Chelsea appeared to hijack the deal and were reportedly close to agreeing a switch that would see him head for London.

That saw Chelsea's odds cut in the market and they themselves went odds-on to sign the midfielder.

They have since drifted out to 12/1 to be De Jong's next destination, according to Sky Bet.

Bayern Munich are 33/1, with Manchester City and PSG at 40/1.
