“It’s just a money issue for now” – Jaap Stam expects €85million player to join Manchester United
Former Manchester United defender and Dutch legend Jaap Stam is confident that Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong will still complete a move to Old Trafford this summer.
“My feeling is that Frenkie de Jong will come here,” Stam told Viaplay.
“At (Manchester United) they know for a long time that Frenkie de Jong wants to come otherwise they would never push this long to get it done.
“It’s just a money issue for now.”
Manchester United have agreed an €85million deal with Barcelona for the transfer of De Jong but the Dutch midfielder is reluctant to leave the Spanish side due to £17million he is owed in deferred wages.
