The Spanish newspaper El Nacional reports that Barcelona and Manchester United have reached a new agreement, which will be officially announced soon, pending approval from the player in question.
Barcelona aims to finalize new deals to boost their squad for the upcoming season under new coach Hans Flick. However, the club first needs to make a significant sale to generate funds for new signings like Nico Williams and Dani Olmo.
According to the newspaper, Manchester United has agreed to purchase Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona for 80 million euros. Manchester United has been pursuing De Jong for the past three years, and it seems they are close to securing him this time.
The report also notes that the deal is currently at odds with De Jong’s preference to stay at Barcelona, where he receives a salary. However, his stance may change before the transfer window closes.
