The soap opera surrounding Frenkie de Jong just keeps going and going and there seems to be no clarity for anyone. If we were to believe the newspapers, his transfer to Manchester United was almost complete, only the two clubs still had to agree on the total amount. And now I read that Barcelona does not want to let de Jong go, and that de Jong also has to agree to a salary cut. Seems to me a fairly easy choice to choose United, much more potential in that team. They just won't play CL next season.

Why the crazy delay? Barcelona should sell or let him be.
He is not even ready to reduce he's salary to remain at Barcelona.
He recently liked a post Manchester United made, And is send fans nut.

I think both teams are just approaching the deal cautiously, Barcelona are trying not to let De Jong leave the club rather too cheaply because he's like the most prized asset in which the club (think they) can afford to lose and as such trying to get as much as they possible can from the deal, while Man United are trying not to over pay for the player and because of Barcelona's financial situation they also want to make the best use of the club's desperation.

Frenkie de Jong situation at #FCB

▫️ Man Utd & Barça agreed €65m fixed fee but still discussing on €20m add-ons structure;
▫️ Personal terms never discussed yet;
▫️ Frenkie’s priority has always been to stay at Barça;
▫️ Salary reduction ‘very unlikely’ option on Frenkie side.
