Welcome to Manchester, the FC Barcelona star that Ten Hag is close to convincing

Manchester United are looking to have a major transfer window ahead of next season. Erik Ten Hag has established himself in a big way and now, one of the players he came to train at Ajax, could be one of those who end up coming to Manchester United this summer. It is precisely Frenkie De Jong.

The stability of FC Barcelona's project involves balancing its accounts (as far as possible) with a significant reduction in its wage bill. All this, of course, to comply with Fair Play regulations. As a result, the departure of a heavyweight from the dressing room of the La Liga champions is not ruled out.

In this scenario, The Mirror advances that Manchester United will burn their ships for De Jong as he is a express request of Erik ten Hag. Without going any further, both coincided during his successful spell at Ajax Amsterdam. If FC Barcelona do eventually decides to sell Frenkie, the Red Devils will welcome him to Old Trafford.

How much would De Jong cost Manchester United?

According to Transfermarkt, the Dutch player has a total value of 70 million. However, if an official offer for his sale is made, a figure close to 80 million euros is expected. Although he would be considered non-transferable because he is a bet for the present and the future, the player could leave.
