Manchester United’s pursuit of Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong is close to being successfully concluded, according to reports from Spain.
The talented Dutchman is reportedly United’s top transfer target this summer as the club looks to shore up an average midfield that will lose Paul Pogba and Nemanji Maticat the end of this month.
Barcelona have reluctantly accepted that they will need to sell their top earner as they continue to struggle with a crippling financial crisis.
It was reported yesterday that United had made a formal offer to the Catalans of €60 million plus bonuses, but that the Blaugrana were holding out for €80 million.
However, according to Spanish outlet Marca,there is a growing acceptance that they will quickly have to back down and take the deal on the table.
“At the Camp Nou they assume that no similar proposal will come for any other player who is not essential for the club, as are, for example, Pedri or Ansu Fati,” Marca says.
