fans are still focusing on the transfer market. Argentine all-rounder Lisandro Martinez's deal has basically been completed. Manchester United and Ajax have negotiated the transfer fee and personal terms with Lima. It has been achieved, Romano also confirmed that here we go, let’s wait for the official announcement.
However, Frenkie de Jong's transfer continues to be performed in the direction of a soap opera, and there will be no results for a while.
"The Athletic" authoritative reporter David Ornstein and Manchester United team reporter Laurie Whitwell jointly reported that Manchester United and Barcelona have reached a comprehensive agreement on De Jong's transfer fee. Manchester United agreed to pay a fixed fee of 75 million euros, plus a floating bonus of 10 million euros. . The previous plan was 65 million euros fixed + 20 million euros floating.
De Jong is Ten Hag's first signing this summer. Manchester United management has shown great sincerity in negotiations with Barcelona, sending a delegation of CEO Richard Arnold and director John Murtaugh to Barcelona for face-to-face negotiations.
De Jong's total transfer value has not changed, still 85 million euros, but the fixed fee paid by Manchester United has increased by 10 million euros.
Manchester United still needs to convince De Jong to agree to the transfer and reach personal terms. At the same time, there is also the biggest problem. Because Barcelona still owes De Jong an amount of 20 million euros in delayed wages and bonuses, the transaction is still delayed.
Starting last night, Barcelona mouthpiece media including "Daily Sports", "World Sports" and other Barcelona mouthpiece media have successively released reports of the same caliber: Barcelona has informed De Jong that the club needs him to leave the team this summer. The benefits brought by his departure and the salary space saved can complete the registration of three new players, Casey, , Christensen, and Rafinha.
Yes, Barcelona is already building momentum to drive people away.
The headline of the "World Sports News" report read: "If De Jong leaves, Barcelona will be saved." De Jong's departure will free up 30 million to 35 million euros in salary space for Barcelona, and they can register new players. World Sports reporter Fernando Polo said that Barcelona is confident that the players will leave the team within a few days.
SER Radio sources said that selling De Jong to Barcelona can release 42 million euros in salary space.
According to "The Athletic", Barcelona believes that Manchester United's offer of 75 million euros + 10 million floating points for De Jong is very high. Such an offer does not exist forever, so Barcelona hopes to complete the transaction as soon as possible. Barcelona informed De Jong that the team was selling him for financial reasons and tried to convince De Jong that a move to Manchester United was the right choice for him now. But Barcelona did not reveal how to resolve the salary arrears to De Jong.
Western media also said that if De Jong does not transfer as required by Barcelona, Barcelona will take punishment, such as kicking him out of the pre-season squad for the United States.
What about De Jong’s personal attitude? "Daily Sports" broke the news: De Jong refused to join Manchester United. He also asked Manchester United not to make any more offers to pursue him because it was a waste of time. De Jong just bought a house in Barcelona's Pedralbes neighborhood a few days ago. He told his teammates in the locker room that he would never leave Barcelona.
The British media "The Independent" reported the opposite: De Jong is not unwilling to join Manchester United, but must first resolve Barcelona's salary arrears before completing the transfer. In the past period of time, De Jong and Ten Hag have maintained close contact.
"Intel" Manchester United team reporter Simon Peach pointed out that If Manchester United did not believe that De Jong was willing to join Old Trafford and be reunited with his mentor Ten Hag, Manchester United would not have been chasing the 25-year-old all summer. Midfield. De Jong's desire to get Barcelona's full salary is a reasonable request. Manchester United can understand that this deal will still take some time to complete.
Looking at the Western media, then the British media, and then reporters from all walks of life Twitter , Mr. Mo just wanted to say one thing: I really vomited. Whether it's successful or not, just be happy and do it quickly! ! ! ! !
