Before the end of the league and with a 95% probability, Frenkie De Jong will be transferred to Manchester United. It is a pure economic issue. Barça needs to sell a player who has not been top at the club
I remember a while back I was ridiculed when I suggested that Barca would be mad not sell De Jong in order to balance their books. The argument was that they have their finances in order and a new stadium deal.

Even so with Gavi and Pedri and De Jong being on insane wage, this is a very shrewed move by Barca. Moving on a player while his stock is still high.

All in all a win win for everyone involved if this is true.

The only thing missing is De Ligt from Juventus and the trio would be reunited again :drool:

Apparently he was waiting to see who won the FAYC final before deciding whether to join us or Forest

Barca fans online are freaking out over it apparently being FDJ.

Rumors of him joining United are swirling around big time right now...

Excellent if we can nab him.

He's been my dream midfield signing for the past season.

They crucify everyone.

They were crucifying Valverde when they were winning league titles and sitting on top of La Liga in his 3rd season.

Why has he been disappointing for them? Is he too safe a passer?

Well, they expect their midfielders to be Xavi and Iniesta.

We just need better than McTominay. :lol:

So how would he fit in our team? By which I mean would we need to sign a second more defense orientated midfielder to play alongside him as well?

80m for him would be 5m more than Barca paid but for his age (24) and profile and our longstanding need at his position, it might be worth it.

More justifiable than 100m+ for Declan Rice.

Sounds like he's Ten Hag's no.1 target and he was magic paired with him

God no. Surely the b2b role. We still need a cdm/holding mids so expect tchouameni to sign on Friday.
He has to play the sitting role here 100%. That’s where he’s at his best and does most of the damage. And thats what we desperately need.

He doesn't want to come but was apparently obligated if Barca accepted a big fee right?

Don’t make me release in my pants please. This man is my #1 muppet dream. Would be incredible and get me right over this Haaland business.

Get Frenkie and follow it up by getting Ibrahim Sangaré and we would have our midfield covered.

If he's tier 1 for Barca I don't see why he'd put it out there without having confirmed it? Top sourced tend to report these things once almost certain.
