Man City made a £90million offer for Rice but walked away from negotiations after Arsenal upped their bid to £100m plus £5millin in add-ons.

The reigning Premier League and UEFA Champions League holders are looking to reinforce their midfield following midfielder Ilkay Gundogan’s decision to leave Etihad at the end of his contract this summer for Barcelona.

As a result, Pep Guardiola’s side are keen to bring De Jong to Manchester United this summer.

De Jong was expected to leave Barcelona last summer for Manchester United, but the Netherlands international opted to remain at the Camp Nou.
