Frenkie de Jong’s rumoured transfer to Manchester United is the long-running saga of the summer transfer window. And the twists and turns the deal keeps taking on a daily basis is akin to a Hollywood thriller. Erik ten Hag had made the Barcelona midfielder his number one priority when he took over the job but Jaon Laporte”s comments and Chelsea’s emergence have made the deal even more complicated than it was before.
United had agreed a deal worth €65 million paid up front and another €20 million in add-ons. However, the Dutch international’s transfer is being held up because the Catalan giants owe the playmaker over £13.7 million in basics wage and another £3.4m in bonuses.
According to Football Transfer the Camp Nou outfit are only willing to pay back €3.5 million while asking the player to forgo the rest. The former Ajax man is not willing to leave Catalunya without receiving his due.
