Frenkie de Jong’s Transfer Attempt is Taking Longer

DBasia.news – Manchester United are getting tired  of Frenkie de Jong’s never ending negotiations. Reportedly, the Red Devils have started to observe at other players.

Erik ten Hag wants Manchester United to sign more quality in midfield. Ten Hag thinks that the quality of the midfielders is not yet qualified. Moreover, a number of players such as Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard had left.

Ten Hag’s main choice is his former player who is now defending Barcelona, ​​Frenkie de Jong. Ten Hag is the figure who forged De Jong when he was at Ajax Amsterdam.

However, that does not mean De Jong would easily head to Old Trafford. There are a number of hurdles in negotiations.

First of course is the affair with Barcelona. Realizing Man United’s desire is very strong, Barca set a price of 85 million euros. The value has not decreased since it was first mentioned.

Finally, the two teams reportedly agreed on a dowry of 75 million euros plus a bonus of 10 million euros. However, now comes the next challenge.

Man United have difficulty convincing De Jong to join. The midfielder has no intention of leaving Barcelona. As a result, negotiations became protracted.

CBS Sport reports, Manchester United finally looked at other options. The player who made Manchester United fall in love was Youri Tielemans who performed well with Leicester City.

Tielemans became interesting to Ten Hag as he hasbeen  tested in the Premier League. In addition, he is also still young. The Belgian player is believed to have great potential to shine even more in the future.

Tielemans is enticing as he iss much cheaper than De Jong. With a contract that will expire next season, Tielemans is valued at 30 million pounds.

However, Manchester United must be vigilant as Arsenal are also monitoring the player. In fact, Arsenal have been chasing Tielemans first.
