According to reports, Frenkie de Jong is very upset with Barcelona’s treatment of him and is willing to speak out against the club once his future is resolved. After months of chasing, we are confident we can get the 25-year-old.
Manchester United are willing to pay a fee of nearly £72m overall to get De Jong to sign the summer statement.
It would be the fifth-most expensive deal in the club’s history, behind the likes of Paul Pogba, Harry Maguire, Romelu Lukaku and Jadon Sancho.
As uncertainty about the future of the 25-year-old de Jong continues, Sport provided an update on De Jong on Monday.
So far, Barcelona are alleged to have been sabotaged in their attempts to meet with the player’s entourage.
But they do know that De Jong’s agent, Ali Durson, is in talks with both United and Chelsea.

“Or he stays at Barcelona, which might be a little embarrassing given the relationship between coach and player.
“Or the terrible result is that he not only leaves Barcelona, but goes to Premier League rivals Chelsea.
“That wouldn’t be a good outcome for United’s recruiting department. I think that will cause problems in the coming weeks.”
De Jong could become United’s sixth La Liga signing since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
Ander Herrera, Victor Valdes, Angel Di Maria, Eric Bailly and Rafael Varane have all moved in the last few years.
