The transfer of Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong, Barcelona midfielder, to Manchester United, during the current summer Mercato, was complicated
In recent weeks, De Jong was linked to a move to Old Trafford to work with his former coach, Eric Tin Hag, with whom he starred in the ranks of Ajax
And according to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”, Xavi rejects the idea of De Jong’s departure, unless the Catalan club succeeds in signing Manchester City star Bernardo Silva
She indicated that Silva has a contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2025, which means that the Citizens management will ask a lot of money to agree to his departure
It is reported that Manchester United wants to take advantage of Barcelona’s suffering from a financial crisis and its failure to conclude new deals, to persuade it to abandon De Jong this summer
