This is not the translation.
MU continue to submit their offer of 70m+ for the Dutchman. The club continue to be convinced that he will leave.
There is nothing new going on. Same situation.

Yes, all the top players in England are big brutes who get by on tackling, downing pints in half time and then head butts.
No? Don't you need his wages off the wage bill next year?
My biggest fear is someone hijacking it once they know the fee Barca are willing to accept. I want this done asap, 10m more or not
I hope we get this done quickly now. Wouldn't surprise me if City eventually swoops in if we won't act fast enough
Then they are clueless. Woody is gone, Judge is on the way out. If they think this current team are going to pay 80mil for Dejong then they are in for a very big surprise.Not surprised clubs still feel they can squeeze their full valuation out of us given our transfer business over the years.
The amount of Culés online confused and bemused about haggling over Frenkie when we spent 90m euros on Maguire no questions asked has been funny
Its more complicated deal than we all think.
Barcelona wants money from any club but no one’s going to pay such big money with his wages, if there’s another club ready to pay then Barca would’ve reached an agreement already.
Frenkie is a very particular type of midfield profile and would increase a team’s quality immediately on a team like us but without CL he needs convincing and ETH to do that.
We are looking to build a team around a player like Frenkie but his price is not in our range, if we don’t get him we’ll look for someone else and invest money elsewhere but ETH believes its easy to work with a known player to implement his style of football.
So its either going to be ETH to finally say lets stop chasing him or united to find a fair price in the deal. If Barca can’t get rid of them, it’s their loss and have to pay his wages for the remaining term. There’s nothing Barca can do much here and simply wait for us to make a call.
I think we should really do 1or 2 midfield signings like vitinha or eriksen and that would settle the dust.

Just. Pay. It.
We're going to potentially lose out over peanuts in the grand scheme of things.

Our previous offer was 60+ so how can we be offering the same when this is 70+?
The nutters on here saying we should walk away over 10 or so million so we can what go buy an inferior player and have our new manager rethink his plans seems bloody stupid to me.
Romero specifically said we're raising the offer to 70m+ bonuses, that's a new bit of info after the 60m+ bonuses was reportedly already turned down.
He's been ahead of everyone on this so far

This is it. Look at Liverpool. Is Darwin Nuñez worth what they paid? Right now, probably not. But they got the deal done. It might not pay off - no transfer is a cert, but it might well pay off. We spend literally months negotiating 10-15m, and potentially miss out on other targets. I could understand the patience in the de Jong deal if it felt like anything else was happening and we were progressing other deals. The most frustrating issue is that this seems to be our only focus.
Because De Jong will feel it as an insensitive to join a club that’s struggling as much as we’ve been recently. UCL qualification would at least have given the opportunity to compensate.
I'm just telling you what it says, mate. Ducker just said that we are still 20m euros apart on the valuation - that's the same as last week. Maybe Romano is off on this one?
Absolute nonsense. Insenstive? Worried he'll hurt the feelings of the club that want to bin him?
No. If Barcelona sells him it is because Xavi prefers another player who fits more
The player obviously is open to the move or else we’d have moved on. This will happen next week.
Makes no sense to jeapordise the summer and our squad next season for the sake of £10m.
Pay the money or change the target you half wits.

If this is the one signing ETH wants, then just pay the fee, and move on. Make do with whatever funds we have on the secondary players.
Hope we're not that dumb to end up missing out on FdJ over 15-20m. I 100% agree with being smarter with negotiations, and hopefully it happens in the end as that's all it matters .. but if we miss out on him, it'll be a blood bath on here, as the option to sign Frenkie de Jong with Ten Hag as manager and our needs is not one of those players you "drive a hard line" and "walk away from" over a relatively small amount. You just get it done if it can be done for a non outrageous amount.
He's not 2nd or 3rd option on the list, he is quite literally the dream target. The best possible player we can sign for that option, the best possible target we could sign for our new manager who got the best out of him before. You just get this signing done if you can get it done.

Can't see it falling through for the sake so of an extra €10-20m
Some of you are terrible negotiators.
All the signs of a major flop who won't want to be here after a few months. Really think we should avoid this type of signing. 300k a week? Come on.
So his 19m wages next year are no problem and it's not preventing you from registering new players as has been widely reported? Everything's fine with Barca's finances?
Isn't Sancho on 350k already?
My sauce says that he’s only agreed to sign for us if he sees 1000 pages on his caf thread.
It’s worth quite a bit to ensure we have him in, settled and ready for the start of pre season
Yeah I believe he is. Another mistake.
Stop penny pinching and just pay the fecking money
Pogba was on 290k. There is no way Sancho is on 350k.
Surely he's not classing him as the Defensive Midfield signing, only ask because doesn't reference a DM in the tweet below.
I also tend to think that the striker target has become more of a right forward with Nunez gone to scousers.
Be interesting to hear who Fabrizio thinks are the full back targets too, centre back names have already been touted.
Do you even like footballer who have some flair? You hated Pogba, Sancho is a mistake and are already consider looking elsewhere instead of buying Frenkie de Jong. Im guessing you werent a fan of Nani either? Do you turn on the tv to enjoy 90 minutes of Scott McTominay?
The amount of dim posts saying just pay this extra mere 10-15m when it's already 60-70 high are amazing aren't they.
Probably said it for every high priced deal we've made in the last 5 years and learnt nothing.
Like the fact we need a number of players, not just wad it all one one guy.
Oh but we'll make 100m in sales won't we...
And the club has proven themselves?
Man you lot.....
It's a done deal. It has been for a month now.
Ticks too many boxes not to be done.
What will be fun is, who do we get after FDJ?

Why is everyone turning into Bob Geldof all of a sudden?
Apart on valuations, now where have I seen this story before. Oh yeah pretty much every big deal in the last few years.
Pretty much how I see it. This is clearly Erik's man so we have to get him.
His wage is a concern though but not enough of one to put me off.
Probably that's why Pogba was pissed? I mean, a nothing player like Martial is on 250k, and we made DDG, Varane, and Ronaldo way more that 290k.
Nothing on Choccy's Twitter
