Barcelona president offers crucial update on Frenkie de Jong amid interest from Manchester United
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has revealed the Spanish side have no agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of Frenkie de Jong.
Multiple reports had claimed Manchester United have reached an agreement to pay €75million guaranteed plus €10million in bonuses to Barcelona for the transfer of De Jong.
Laporta said: “Frenkie de Jong is our player, we really like him. We received some offers for Frenkie but we didn’t accept them as of now, as we want to talk with him and know exactly what he wants.”
It’s high time Manchester United pulled out from the deal for De Jong as it is embarrassing for the club. There are talented alternatives out there the club can sign. It’s really embarrassing for Manchester United to wait for De Jong while Barcelona keep denying they have an agreement with the Red Devils.
