The financial difference stopping Frenkie de Jong signing for Man United
The Dutch midfielder did not want to leave but Barcelona could use the money and Ten Hag wants him
Frenkie de Jong’s future is still an unknown. Despite Barcelona activating their financial levers, the sale of the Dutchman continues to be touted.
Man United are the team most interested in him. Erik ten Hag coached him at Ajax and thinks he would be a top signing at Old Trafford.
Xavi counts on Frenkie bu the club know he’s one of the players that they could sell for the most money, as well as saving on his huge wages next season.
The Manchester United proposal has not convinced Barcelona, however. Per The Athletic, the Red Devils are 10-15 million below where the Catalans want them to be. A better offer will arrive in the coming days, says The Guardian.
