Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez agrees to sell Frenkie de Jong, and has identified Manchester City star Bernardo Silva, as his replacement
And the newspaper pointed out that Richard Arnold, chief executive of Manchester United, confirmed in a video clip with fans of the Red Devils, that the club already had the money for the deal and was working to resolve it, but there were inexplicable obstacles
She explained that the whole matter is now in the hands of De Jong, who will terminate the deal if he wants to move to Old Trafford and work again with coach Eric Ten Hag
The newspaper stated that De Jong wants to play in the Champions League, and if he is forced to agree to move to United, he will sacrifice this matter
Also, De Jong will not guarantee the English Premier League title with Manu or be in the semi-finals next season, because the Premier League is a highly competitive tournament, and includes many strong teams
