According to Marca, the possibility of Frenkie de Jong coming to MU is almost zero, because the recent negotiations have become cold, and also because the “Red Devils” of Manchester bought the Real Madrid midfielder, it is great. “>Casemiro from Real Madrid for up to 70 million euros.
Frenkie de Jong’s future is still unclear
The British press on August 23 revealed that the MU leadership immediately after the 2-1 victory over Liverpool flew to Barcelona to negotiate for the last time to recruit Frenkie de Jong. But Marca said that, in fact, this development is unlikely, moreover, this 25-year-old Dutch midfielder has refused all terms with MU.
Therefore, even if Barcelona and MU agree to all agreements, the transfer is also very unlikely. Another solution currently considered by the Catalan team is to loan Frenkie de Jong to Bayern Munich, similar to the one that loaned midfielder Coutinho a few years ago.
Barcelona wants Bayern Munich to pay Frenkie de Jong 1’s loan fee of 8 million euros for the season as it paid for Coutinho, but with the condition of buying it outright without being selected. Therefore, Marca newspaper assessed that this accompanying condition was difficult to convince the German club, because the value of Frenkie de Jong was “peg” by Barcelona at between 80 million euros and 100 million euros too high.

In addition, another option is to sell Frenkie de Jong to Chelsea, but currently this London club has not made a move to negotiate, partly because coach Thomas Tuchel has a surplus of defensive midfielders so he is not really interested in this deal. . The goal of “The Blues” is to strengthen the striker and the target is another Barcelona star, striker Aubameyang. But the Catalan team is demanding up to 30 million euros, currently the parties are still negotiating.
Meanwhile, with Frenkie de Jong, this star is owed by Barcelona a salary from two seasons ago that is currently up to nearly 21 million euros. If he still plays until next season, the star’s salary will also increase to 28 million euros/season. Therefore, the Catalan team will be due to pay this star a total of 49 million euros in the near future.
This is the reason why Barcelona are so keen to sell Frenkie de Jong to avoid paying very high salaries like today. But the case cannot push this player out this summer (contract is until June 2026), forcing them to find a way to negotiate a salary reduction to continue playing. Marca also assessed, with this situation and the transfer window with just over a week left, the possibility of Frenkie de Jong leaving is very unlikely unless there is a big change in the player’s mind in a few days. come here.
