According to reports from Mundo Deportivo in Spain, Barcelona is ready to sell Frenkie De Jong to Manchester United, the English meet the demands of the Catalans. Despite the fact that the Dutchman has consistently been a starter under coach Xavi, the player has always been linked with a move to Old Trafford. These rumors are already supported by the fact that De Jong is keen to reunite with his old coach at Ajax, Erik ten Hag, who will take over the leadership of the "Red Devils" next season.
One of the main reasons why Barcelona can give up the midfielder are financial problems. The Spanish club paid a whopping .65.3 2020 million to Ajax's player's services in 65. United executives meanwhile are said to be willing to pay up to milionë XNUMX million for De Jong's services. This means that Barça can totally repay the initial cost of bringing the talent to the Camp Nou.
Another potential reason why Barcelona can give up De Jong are the very ambitious goals that the Catalan club has for the summer market. The Spaniards are looking to bring Robert Lewandowski or Frenkie De JongBernardo Silva to the team. Such an operation would be quite costly for President Laporta. With that in mind, departures seem inevitable.
Lewandowski is approaching the final year of his contract with Bayern, and given that the Polish bomber has expressed a desire to leave, this gives Barcelona more chances to bring the striker to the Camp Nou. Meanwhile Bernardo Silva is a more difficult target. The Portuguese is a starter at Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and a move to Spain could be considered without fear a step back in the midfielder's career.
