Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff already met in May with their representative
The option of the Aston Villa midfielder would be related to the possible departure of Frenkie de Jong
Barça has experienced a hot Monday with regard to the transfer market. On the one hand, the signing of Robert Lewandowski has entered its final stretch. Barça has raised its proposal to 50 million and the Polish striker has traveled to Germany and not precisely to join Bayern’s preseason, but to say goodbye to his teammates. That, of course, if the German club accepts the last Blaugrana proposal as valid.
On the other hand, the CEO of Manchester United, Richard Arnols and the director of football for the ‘red devils’, Johan Murtough, have been ‘hunted’ in Barcelona by ‘Jijantes’, journalist Gerard Romero’s twitch channel, which has pointed out to a possible summit with Barça’s sports vice president, Rafa Yuste, the director of football, Mateu Alemany, and his right-hand man, Jordi Cruyff, to discuss the possible transfer of Frenkie de Jong to the Old Trafford club.
And this is where the last name that appeared during the day would enter: Carney Chukwemeke. According to the journalist specializing in the football market, Fabrizio Romano, Barça would have reopened its interest in the young Aston Villa midfielder to reinforce the spinal cord.
Interest in Chukwemeke is not new. Last May, Alemany and Jordi Cruyff met with the player’s representative, who at 18 is one of the greatest promises in European football.
Austrian by birth, Chukwemeke is international for England and this season he has made the leap to the Aston Villa first team at the hands of Steven Gerrard. The young midfielder has accumulated 14 games this season, 12 in the Premier League and two in the EFL Cup.
