Barcelona midfielder has been offered to multiple clubs, player wants to stay

Journalist Santi Aouna is claiming that the relationship between midfielder Frenkie de Jong and his agent Ali Dursun has started to deteriorate mainly due to the latter’s behaviour in recent times.

To quote, Aouna, ‘There is a tense relationship between Frenkie de Jong and his agent. He has offered the player a number of clubs even though he wants to stay in Barcelona’.

De Jong’s future has been put under extreme scrutiny ever since Manchester United hired Erik ten Hag as their new boss. The Premier League side knows Barcelona are in need of financial injection and for that, they might have to sell the midfielder if a good offer comes along.

Now,  Xavi has time and again stated that he wants the midfielder to stay and even the latter, for that matter, has no interest in leaving. But the management has openly admitted that if an offer is worth considering, they will sell him for financial reasons.

For United, they know how to approach de Jong; it’s through ten Hag himself. The new United manager is trying to convince the 25-year-old but the lack of Champions League football next season means he is not willing to change the scene this summer.

Despite that, ten Hag is still pursuing the midfielder and as SPORT reports, his message to the midfielder for the aforementioned issue is, “Don’t worry, this will only be one year”.

As of today, there are claims that Barcelona and Manchester United have already settled on an agreement and while there is no mention of any kind of transfer fee, the Dutchman is said to be unconvinced about the idea of moving to Old Trafford. 

The only hindrance is the lack of Champions League football and now it’s upto the teams to decide the 25-year-old’s fate as United have no problem in matching Barça’s asking price.
