Frenking de Jong Sold to Manchester United
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Reportedly Barcelona have been willing to sell De Jong and this will be good news for Manchester United who are ambitious to sign him.
De Jong’s name did appear as one of Manchester United’s main targets this summer. It was a special request from the new manager, Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag already knows the quality of De Jong. Both had worked together while defending the banner of Ajax Amsterdam.
Barcelona responded to Manchester United’s interest realistically. The Blaugrana are ready to release De Jong as long as the price is right.
In its development, Barcelona have set a high price for De Jong. Meanwhile, Manchester United’s efforts to reduce costs have failed.
However, the latest news was conveyed by transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano. He stated that Manchester United and Barcelona had reached an agreement regarding the transfer fee of De Jong.
“Manchester United have reached a full agreement with Barcelona for Frenkie de Jong. After further talks, the transfer package is worth 85 million euros,” Romano tweeted.
“The main cost is guaranteed to be around 75 million euros plus bonuses.”
Even so, Manchester United’s efforts to signed De Jong have not been complete. The Red Devils now have to make an agreement with the player in question.
De Jong has no intention of leaving Barcelona. Moreover, Manchester United will be absent from the Champions League next season.
Manchester United must prepare a tempting offer to tempt De Jong. Ten Hag may also be trying hard to change the stance of his player.
