United fed up with Frenkie de Jong drama and already preparing plan B, which would cost a fortune
The Red Devils are not happy with how negotiations with FC Barcelona are going.
Before the end of the Premier League last season, several clubs were already sounding out players to reinforce their squads for next season, so there were managers who had already been talking to each other for some time. Among them were Manchester United and FC Barcelona.
More news about Manchester United:
And for months the Red Devil board has wanted a player from FC Barcelona for whom they are willing to do anything: Frenkie de Jong, the Dutch midfielder who has the Red Devil board doing everything in their power to sign him. It has even been rumored that the Culés even tried a trade for him last April.
In that month, Marcus Rashford and Alex Telles were going to be the exchange chips to ensure the transfer of De Jong to the Culé team, however, at that time the deal could not be finalized and after several months Barcelona is apparently tired according to reports in the European press that say that the team already has a plan B.
United would already have a plan B ready to stop waiting for Frenkie de Jong
According to the English newspaper The Sun, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic would be the option B in case the signing of Frenkie de Jong fell, so the current Lazio player, who this season has scored 11 goals and shared 11 assists in 37 Serie A games, would arrive at Manchester United.
The player has a price that is a real fortune, since according to the specialized website Transfermarkt his card is worth 70 million euros, and he has a contract with Lazio until 2024, so United should probably spend a fortune to get him.
