In my opinion, there are several options that could be worth it or not from the figure of De Jong with a very high price clause. maybe the first thing we can see is that he is still very young, of course he will be able to play for a long time in the manchester united squad for next season or the following season. Manchester United also learned from what they did when they bought Pogba from Juventus and maybe they won't think too much about the price that Barcelona wants. The current dilemma is whether Barcelona have agreed to the offer made by Manchester United.
It seems that Barcelona have not agreed to the offer made by Manchester United, because if it is approved there will be some news about it now, but for now there is not much news about it except for rumors and still about bargaining. One side that makes Manchester United target De Jong is because of his young age so he is still able to show very good potential when coached by an experienced coach and Manchester United believes that De Jong will have very good potential for his team.
