KKjili If teams want to buy midfielder Frenkie De Jong from Barcelona, they will have to prepare a huge amount of money.
Midfielder De Jong has always maintained impressive form since arriving at Barcelona . Despite the Camp Nou team’s poor form, the Dutch midfielder still shows no signs of decline.
Mundo Deportivo said Barcelona understands the importance of De Jong, but selling this player will help them solve some of their financial difficulties. Therefore, Barcelona decided to put De Jong on the transfer market for a fee of 85 million pounds.
Meanwhile, De Jong’s side is currently leaving open the possibility of leaving Camp Nou. Spanish media revealed that the star born in 1997 was increasingly dissatisfied with Barcelona’s problems both on and off the field.
With such a situation, the opportunity to recruit De Jong is opening up for MU . The Old Trafford team has been pursuing the Dutch star for a long time but was unsuccessful. As in 2022, the red half of Manchester offered to recruit De Jong for a fee of 70 million pounds, but the midfielder decided to stay at Barcelona.
The Sun newspaper said the £85 million price offered by Barcelona will be a challenge for teams in the Premier League. However, this does not seem to be a problem for MU. In addition to the “Red Devils”, there is also Chelsea pursuing De Jong.
MU is expected to spend heavily in the 2024 summer transfer window. They are currently backed by billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, who recently sat on the MU board of directors when successfully buying 25% of this club’s shares.
De Jong will be the perfect solution for the Old Trafford team’s midfield. In addition, MU also intends to liquidate Casemiro to reduce the salary budget as he currently receives a salary of up to 350,000 pounds/week.
