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.

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.
