According to journalist Gerard Romero in Jijantes, the FC Barcelona is close to closing the sale of Frankie de Jong to the Man Utd for a figure between 70 and 80 million euros. An operation that, as confirmed by the source, is purely economic due to the need for the Blaugrana team to sell a player to make money and be able to strengthen the team.
The Dutch midfielder has not performed at the level expected by FC Barcelona since his arrival and is one of the pieces for which he can get the most money due to his market value, adding that he has been in the sights of several important teams in Europe.
Manchester United has an agreement with Barcelona for Frenkie de Jong
Manchester United have shown great interest in acquiring his services since they confirmed the incorporation of Erik Ten Hag as the next manager, it being he who made him one of the best midfielders in the world.
Gerard Romero confirms that the operation would close between 70 and 80 million euros. Everything can change in the next few weeks, but FC Barcelona is clear that it needs to sell an important player and the Dutchman has not finished exploding as a star. They are afraid that the player will lose value and that the club will lose money with the subsequent sale of him.
Manchester United will add one of the first requests from Erik Ten Hag to their squad for next season and reinforce their area of midfielders, one of the main problems in recent seasons at the Red Devils.
