During the mid-80s, there was a popular synth-pop English band called ‘Frankie goes to Hollywood’ that hit the UK charts with a few quite likeable songs before vanishing from the scene like many others from that era.But unlike them – who was a Liverpool-based group – another Frenkie is maybe on his way to some different kind of Hollywood with all the necessary drama poured into a whole deal. Van Gaal: “Frenkie de Jong brings an extra quality to this team. That’s why he’s worth €112M.” pic.twitter.com/oj2oLoVBvi— 𝐀𝐅𝐂 𝐀𝐉𝐀𝐗 💎 (@TheEuropeanLad) June 8, 2022 It’s, of course, Frenkie de Jong and his possible destination is Old Trafford. Months of speculations have finally resulted in a concrete offer from the Red Devils boardroom. As per Marca, Manchester United is offering the Blaugrana as much as 60,000,000 euros plus 20,000,000 euros through bonuses for the Dutch midfielder.On the other hand, Barca have to earn money from the sale of players until June 30, in order to cover the huge deficit so they can register new players. Sales, loans, salary cuts… Work is being done on all fronts, and the most significant sum of money could come from the sale of De Jong.Goodbye, Frankie! It’s time to go back to the man who ‘launched’ youThe Dutchman will be the victim of the catastrophic policy of the previous board, which pushed the club into the abyss. However, from a football point of view, De Jong’s future at Camp Nou should not have come into question because coach Xavi appreciates him and sees him as one of the key players in the team. THU: 21.45: (3.20) SWEDEN (3.10) SERBIA (2.55)Still, someone has to be sacrificed, and it was probably decided that it would be Frenkie, whom Barca paid Ajax as much as 86,000,000 euros three years ago and whose gross salary is 18,000,000 euros a year. Now they are ready to let him go for a million less.Ever since it became clear that Erik ten Hag would take over Manchester United and that Paul Pogba would not stay, the English giants have focused on bringing Ten Hag’s compatriot De Jong.It is unlikely that the English will offer more than this. Time is ticking away for Barca…
