Frenkie de Jong’s move to Manchester United is imminent, with FC Barcelona in agreement with the Red Devils. However, De Jong himself is far from happy with the transfer decision.
“Disgusted” by his own club: According to “Mundo Deportivo”, Frenkie de Jong should only be “disgusted” by FC Barcelona. The reason: Coach Xavi is said to have told the 25-year-old not in person but on the phone that he was being sold to Manchester United. The relationship with his trainer and former sponsor should therefore now finally be broken.
Short, compact, clear
“You are the conductor of my orchestra”: At Manchester United, however, De Jong should experience a different appreciation in the future. This is said to be due in particular to the new Red Devils trainer Erik ten Hag. He assured the Dutch midfield strategist that he would be the “conductor of his orchestra” and the undisputed regular player in the future.
85 million euros for de Jong: Although de Jong had repeatedly made it clear that he wanted to stay at Barcelona and not switch to Manchester United, the two clubs are said to have agreed on a basic transfer fee of 66 million euros. However, the financial package put together by Barcelona can still increase to 85 million euros through bonus payments.
