The meeting ended with an agreement. According to the journalist Oriol Domenech, both clubs agreed to transfer Frenkie de Jong to the British team for around €85 million. Although, at the moment, it is not known what amount would be paid in cash or what part would be paid in variables, what is clear is that the figure is an average between the €60 million that the combined islands intended to spend and the close to 100 that the culés demanded.
In any case, the operation is still at the player’s expense. For the moment, the Dutchman has been firm in his idea of ​​making a career at the Camp Nou and has rejected, one after another, all of United’s approaches. Not even the presence of his compatriot Erik ten Hag on the bench at Old Trafford has managed to change his mind.
Since Barça needs to make money to be able to face the new contracts, it seems very likely that the leaders will increase the level of pressure on a footballer who, if he ends up crossing the exit door, could be replaced by the Portuguese Bernardo Silva (Manchester City).
