The Dutchman does not want to leave the club but both sides are hoping the transfer happens

Manchester United are willing to make a big effort to sign Frenkie de Jong. The Dutchman dos not want to play there, in the Europa league, but United keep pressing because coach Erik ten Hag wants them to sign him. They’ve never hidden he’s their top objective. And they will sit down with De Jong’s people to try and convince them.

There’s no problem with Barcelona, who have agreed an 85m euro deal with United. The hard thing is luring the player. 

The Red Devils think they can make another, definitive, offer to get De Jong. They would make him the best paid player at the club on 450k a week, per the Daily Mail. They would also pay him the 17m euros that Barcelona owe him in differed salary. A few weeks ago they said they would not pay this debt.

If De Jong decides not leave Barcelona he will have to take a significant pay cut. The club have told him as much.
