Barcelona set sell their £110m Midfielder to Man united in the summer because of Financial fair play – Xavi want the player out before He terminate His contract as a coach
Manchester United have a special interest in signing Frenkie de Jong who could pursue a new challenge away from Barcelona at the end of the season.
The Red Devils had identified De Jong as their priority midfield target in the summer of 2022. An agreement was reached with the Blaugrana, but the midfielder refused to negotiate terms.
United manager Erik ten Hag had his sights on reuniting with his former Ajax star, but the 26-year-old was determined to continue at the Catalan club.
Speaking on Onze Tv3, journalist Louis Canute has now revealed that De Jong is little disappointed at Barcelona and has not ruled out a summer exit.
The Dutchman is frustrated with the club’s inability to win the Champions League. United have a special interest despite missing out on his services in 2022.
As per Canute, De Jong is currently the highest earner at Barcelona earning £21.17 million per year which equates to a weekly salary in the region of £406,000.
Meanwhile, the La Liga champions no longer consider him as ‘untouchable’. They are willing to accept an offer on the table to help meet Financial Fair Play.
