Posted on December 8, 2021 at 12:00 by AD While the funds of FC Barcelona would be in bad shape, Joan Laporta would have totally changed his plans for Frenkie de Jong. First considered an untouchable, the Dutch international could now be sold by the Catalan president. Moreover, Joan Laporta would already discuss with Manchester United in this direction. After an exceptional 2018-2019 season with the Ajax , Frenkie de Jong packed his bags to join FC Barcelona. Despite XXL competition on this file, Barça managed to afford the services of the international Dutch for around 86M €. However, Frenkie de Jong could not make a fourth season under the colors of the club blaugrana. Blame it on the big financial worries of FC Barcelona. According to information from El Nacional, Joan Laporta would be forced to listen to offers for almost all of his players. While FC Barcelona is in great difficulty economically, there would be few untouchables now within the club. First considered as an untransferable player, Frenkie de Jong would no longer have the same status. Indeed, Joan Laporta would be ready to negotiate his departure because he is one of the players who can bring him the most money. Aware of the situation, Manchester United have already knocked on the door of Barça for the Dutch international. While the two clubs have been in contact for several weeks for Edinson Cavani and Philippe Coutinho, the Red Devils would have taken the opportunity to show their interest in Frenkie de Jong and take the temperature on this file.
