Manchester United are ready to agree personal terms with FC Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, according to Spanish outlet AS (via The Faithful MUFC). The club are ready to offer the Dutch midfielder wages worth £260,000 per week.
Frenkie de Jong has been linked with a move to Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag aims to strengthen the midfield ahead of the 2022-23 season. The Red Devils have seen the likes of Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba leave the club this summer, leaving a large hole to fill in midfield.
Frenkie de Jong is therefore seen as the ideal candidate to fill the void left by the two aforementioned players. According to reports, Barcelona have offered a firm bid from Manchester United worth around €85 million (£71 million). All that is left is for De Jong to accept the personal terms offered by the Red Devils.
According to the aforementioned source, Barcelona will happily accept the transfer fee worth €85 million. The Catalan giants will be getting a large sum of money while also getting rid of De Jong's hefty wages. The Dutchman still has four years remaining on his contract at the Nou Camp, which could be a reason why Barcelona are keen to offload the 25-year-old midfielder.
According to AS, Frenkie de Jong currently finds himself behind both Gavi and Pedri in the pecking order under the management of Xavi Hernandez.
It is, however, worth mentioning that Frenkie de Jong is still not convinced by a move to Manchester United. The 25-year-old midfielder wants to compete in the UEFA Champions League, something he will not be able to do at Old Trafford. The Red Devils finished sixth in the Premier League last season and will be competing in the UEFA Europa League during the 2022-23 campaign.
Manchester United have so far signed just one player this season
Manchester United have had a slow start to the summer transfer window. At the time of writing, the Red Devils have only signed one new player, that being Tyrell Malacia.
United hijacked the deal from Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais and brought him to Old Trafford for a fee of around £14 million.
Manchester United, however, have been linked with a number of players this summer. According to Fabrizio Romano, Danish star Christian Eriksen is closing in on a move to United on a three-year contract once the lawyers have looked into the paperwork.

I'll still pick Wilfred Ndidi over him anytime anyday
Ndidi still remains the highest in tackles won in premier league and it's the position we're having issues with right now

My opinion as Man united fans. De jong and Ibrahim Sangare is the best combination.

Honestly if Erik wants Frankie and there’s a possibility of United getting him then I’m fairness to the deal and the intention of bringing Erik to united in the first place then go get him Frankie. Jugen Klop, the Liverpool manager told Liverpool board he wanted Darwin Nunez and Liverpool went all out to get him including braking their transfer policy to get him. So why not for Erik on frankie?
it's not the board this time, it's the player that is being reluctant to join Manchester United

Is it only Frenkie a player in this world that can play Ten Hag ball in Manchester United team. Please, stop ridiculing us and let this boy be.... look for a defensive midfielder in EPL that already has EPL experience and let get the business done on the field

Just go and follow Romano on Twitter or Instagram or face book all football is fake news as usual

Bottom line is Laporta can not honor the contract he agreed with Frenkie last year. Frenkie kindly cooperating with reductions and deferrals of his wages. Laporta was gambling with money then, as he is now!

Y’all saying manutd shd forget de jong and sign neves , every coach knows the sort of the player dey want and I believe ten hag has spoken to dejong otherwise he won’t persist if he says otherwise . Unlike timber when he said no manutd and we have to look elsewhere . And moreover we are not attractive to any player now due to our status , so we will strive hard and convince player to join till we get back to our best 👌

Fred has chipped Alisson from outside the box to score a goal... . According to reports, Fred is targeting the Ballon d'Or and Benzema is seriously getting worried.

This hour De Jong has refused a transfer, hour before Deal almost close, next hour De Jong has a meeting, another hour De Jong won't take pay cut. Why can't we leave this boy in peace and we sign players who will be focused and determined to play for us????
