Despite its sporting crisis, Manchester United believes it can attract one of Barça’s best players to its squad from January.
Manchester United are hoping to sign FC Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong during the next transfer window. That is to say from January.
The Red Devils are determined to bring in the brilliant passer that coach Erik ten Hag has been targeting for two years. The two men got to know each other at Ajax, notably performing well on the European scene. In Ten Hag’s first summer, United attempted to sign De Jong, but failed to convince him to join England.
Barça agrees, the player does not
According to SPORT, Barca are ready to receive a new offer from United for their Dutch star. The Catalans would be delighted to get rid of an element which costs them very dearly, even if it is very valuable in Hansi Flick’s system.
However, De Jong is one of Barca’s highest paid players due to deferred salaries from the COVID-19 pandemic period. He is unlikely to agree to a transfer that would cause him to lose money owed to him.
