Zapping World Eleven TOP 10: The most profitable transfers in history
Frenkie de Jong’s future is increasingly uncertain. Sent all over Europe by rumours, these last few days seem to see the two Manchester clubs emerging as favorites to welcome the Dutchman. It is even the Skyblues who would now hold the rope in the file, and de Jong would even be ready to make big concessions to join England. While Barça is still struggling to get out of the financial crisis in which it is mired, the club still has to pay its players. As a reminder, Barça players receive their annual salary in two payments spread over the year. In this game, Frenkie de Jong must still receive 6 M € from the Blaugranas. A sum that the player would be willing to sacrifice to facilitate a departure for Manchester City.
Guardiola wants de Jong, Xavi too
Pep Guardiola is looking for a midfielder to replace Fernandinho’s departure and remains a big fan of de Jong, whom he had already tried to recruit before his transfer to Barcelona. Xavi, he hopes to keep his player but remains aware of the financial difficulties of the club: “He is a player that I like a lot, but we will see how the situation is”. Barça are asking for 70 M€ for de Jong, a sum which could slow down the Citizens who have just registered the arrival of Erling Haaland and which could push the Catalan leaders to offer an exchange with Bernardo Silva or Raheem Sterling.
to summarize
Frenkie de Jong would be ready to sacrifice 6 M€ to leave FC Barcelona. The Skyblues would now hold the rope in the file, and de Jong would even be ready to make big concessions to join England. While Barça is still struggling to get out of the financial crisis in which it is mired, the club still has to pay €6 million to de Jong.
