Does he still agree or does he keep blocking? Frenkie de Jong doesn’t want to move from Barcelona to Manchester. The curious thing is that the two clubs want exactly that. They even agree on the details of the sale.
ManUnited agree with Barça over De Jong: It’s getting more and more curious between FC Barcelona, Frenkie de Jong, who works there, and Manchester United. One thing is clear: ManUnited would like to sign the Dutchman immediately and, according to industry insider Fabrizio Romano, should agree with Barça on a transfer – but De Jong would rather stay with the Catalans.
Short, compact, clear
A lot of money for the Dutchman: If De Jong agrees, the transfer would look like this: Barça would be guaranteed 75 million euros for the central midfielder. The purchase agreement should also include optional costs that Barcelona can bring in another ten million euros under certain conditions.
Big concerns in midfield: why ManUnited wants to pay so much money? Because the midfield has been a weak point for years. “Caughtoffside” lists again as a reminder: Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Fred, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek. There are many names. But none have managed to mold United’s midfield center into a real strength of the team.
