Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset’s “Little Sister” interview!
It has become one of the big soap operas of this transfer window: will Frenkie de Jong succumb to the sirens of Manchester United? The case is still far from done for the Red Devils while the Dutch international would like to stay at Barça. Sport today reveals the ten reasons that would encourage the Batavian to stay on his line of conduct.
Ten reasons de Jong doesn’t want to join United
First of all, the mid-25 has just bought a house in Pedralbes, one of the nicest neighborhoods in Barcelona. In addition, his partner who will soon become his wife, feels at home in the Catalan city, with which she has forged very strong ties.
From a sporting point of view, de Jong has always dreamed of playing for Barca and that hasn’t changed. He is also confident that he can meet Xavi’s demands. The absence of the Champions League from the side of MU as well as its label of “unlucky” club in recent years would not play in its favor either. Same for the city as well as bad weather.
If an economic advantage for United was announced, it would not be the case when his salary at Barcelona would be more than comfortable. Finally, he would not like at all the way he would be pushed out while the contacts would only be between clubs. Suffice to say that there is still a lot of work for Erik ten Hag to convince his former protege. Case to follow.
to summarize
While Frenkie de Jong is Manchester United’s priority, the latter is still reportedly not keen on joining the English club. Indeed, ten factors would always keep him a little further from the Red Devils, he who would like to stay at Barça.
