Frenkie de Jong has been actively linked with "Manchester United" since the end of last season, but the 25-year-old Dutchman still belongs to the "Barcelona" club. Although it is constantly announced that the midfielder is nearing a transfer to "Man Utd," new nuances keep emerging, prolonging negotiations between the clubs. On Sunday, "The Telegraph" reported new information that could further delay or even prevent F. de Jong's move to England. It turns out that the Catalan club owes the Dutch national team player approximately 17 million pounds sterling. "Barca" agreed with F. de Jong on the postponement of part of his wages and bonuses during the coronavirus pandemic, but now they are unable to fully settle with the footballer. De Jong's representatives demand that the player recovers all the money owed to him before moving to another team.
