Could Frenkie de Jong become public enemy number 1 at Barcelona? The midfielder doesn’t seem to be in a rush to leave Catalonia as its managers work towards a departure. More than that, the Dutch international would even refuse to leave the club when an agreement exists with Manchester United for a transfer of up to 70 M€, going up to 80 M€ with bonuses.
According Mundo Deportivo and Sport, the club let de Jong know he had to leave. His departure would condition the entire transfer window of the Blaugranas, who are awaiting an influx of funds to complete certain operations, such as the extension of Gavi as well as the recordings of Christensen, Kessié, Raphinha or even Dembélé. This transfer is also considered essential in Barcelona for the economic balance of the club with a view to Financial Fair Play. Beyond the sum paid by the Red Devils, a departure from de Jong could free up between 30 and 35 M€ in payroll. A departure that would also be desired by Xavi according to the latest information fromAdrian Sanchezwhich indicates that drastic measures would not be excluded in this case, such as excluding him from the tour in the United States.
Finally, it would free up a place in midfield, which could be taken up by Bernardo Silva or else by the young Nico Gonzalez who is believed to need regular playing time to continue his progress.
It remains to be seen whether the Oranje will agree to leave Spain, especially when we know that Barça still has to pay him € 14 million in salary.
