Frenkie de Jong has said what he wants, and his wish is to stay at the Nou Camp, but Manchester United is not giving up. And the Red Devils have another ’trump card’ in order to convince the Dutch midfielder to join Erik ten Hag’s team. As reported by the Spanish and English media this evening, Manchester are ready to take on all the debts that Barcelona has towards De Jong, if player changes his mind and goes to Old Trafford! And that offer will certainly please Joan Laporta, whose club is pushing the player to leave the club already. This is basically a weird situation in which the club wants to purchase a player which doesn’t want to leave.And just like that, an 80-year-old Fergie is back!Let us remind you, the numbers are not small ones. The Catalonians are owing full 20 million euros in regular salaries and bonuses, which is why he refused to accept the proposed salary cut like some other first team players a few weeks ago. When Barcelona offered Manchester United to pay off the debt during compensation negotiations, the English side flatly refused, believing it would be easier to convince the player to join them. But now, having convinced themselves of his firm stand, they are ready to make even that concession.Ronaldo debuts under Ten Hag in United’s draw against RayoIt seems that only Barca will benefit from this move, as it is hard to believe that the Catalans would agree to any reduction in the already agreed compensation. As it was written before, it amounts to 75 million euros fixed and another 10 million euros through bonuses. So when we add the aforementioned 20 million to those figures (which the English would immediately cash for the player), it turns out that De Jong could cost Manchester as much as 105 million! Without his wage of course…##NAJAVA_MECA_6534831##And speaking of income, they will especially empty United’s coffers if an agreement is reached. Assuming that Cristiano Ronaldo leaves by the end of August, Frankie de Jong would become the highest paid footballer not only in Manchester, but also in the entire Premier League. Allegedly, the last offer he received is: 550,000 euros per year of the contract! On an annual level, it is slightly more than 26 million euros gross. We’re waiting to hear what Frankie has to say about this…
