Negotiations between Man Utd and Barcelona for Frenkie De Jong transfer is getting harder because price tag 80 millions euro is overpriced for Man Utd and if the negotiations are still deadlocked then Man Utd will withdraw from this transfer and looking for another players but in the other hand although Barcelona ready to sold De Jong but actually Xavi still want him in the team and if he canceled leave Barcelona then Xavi still need him for next season
@bering it makes sense for Manchester United to walk away, because while De Jong is good but he’s definitely not worth 80 million euros. Furthermore if Barcelona can’t off load other player’s then they’ll have to lower their demands, and I think that is what Manchester United board is hoping for and I believe they’re right to wait it out rather than end up paying such a monstrous fee for him.
I do agree, De Jong is a good and all player, and he could be considered 80 million euro as well, but at the same time I understand not wanting to pay that much. In a world where they paid around 80 million for Sancho I could see why De Jong would be considered 80 million as well.
They are different positions but they are definitely close to each other for sure, and I believe that we should be considering 80 million as not too bad for De Jong but also too bad for Uniteds coffers and they just do not have that much to pay for one position and walk away. They need to make a ton of transfers and can't pay that much for just one player who won't solve any of their problems.
