The situation of Frenkie de Jong is still very tense. The 25-year-old Dutchman strongly does not want to leave the "Barcelona" club, but the club itself is trying to force the midfielder to leave the team and move to the "Manchester United" squad for a hefty sum, as reported by "The Athletic." F. de Jong has not yet even come close to reaching an agreement on personal terms with the "Red Devils." The player's agent also stated that the midfielder wants to stay and play for the "Barcelona" team. However, an agreement between the Manchester and Barcelona clubs was reached already yesterday - 75 million euros plus 10 million in possible bonuses. Barcelona wants to invest this money in acquiring R. Lewandowski, and this deal will also give them more freedom in the transfer market. It was previously announced that "Barca" still owes F. de Jong a bit, as the Dutchman was not paid the salary that was due to him.
