Frankie de Jong is ready to join Manchester United from Barcelona, which is a significant development in the pursuit of Eric ten Haag for the midfielder.
Earlier, De Jong said he was pleased with the Catalan club and was believed he was unsure about United’s lack of football in the Champions League. Still, the Guardian understands that the 25-year-old now intends to sign with United and rejoin Ten Hague after working under the Dutchman at Ajax.
In principle, a fee of the initial 65 million euros (56.2 million British pounds) has been agreed, plus allowances that could lead to 85 million euros, and negotiations are already focused on the player’s personal conditions.
