Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong made the final decision about his future in the surprise of many football fans and enthusiasts.
Throughout the past summer transfer window, the future of midfielder Frenkie de Jong left a big mark in the hearts of soccer fans.
Midfielder Frenkie de Jong immediately became the target of coach Erik ten Hag after he took power at MU.
Although Barcelona continuously made things difficult for them in this deal, in the end, the price of 80 million Euros was still agreed upon by both sides to the joy of Red Devils fans.
Initially, many people thought that Frenkie de Jong did not want to go to Old Trafford because he wanted to play in the UEFA Champions League.
Even though he was owed salary by Barca, Frenkie de Jong still let his parent club put great pressure on him.
Specifically, there are two reasons why De Jong does not want to leave Barca: because he really has love for this club and most importantly, Blaugrana still owes the 1997 midfielder more than 20 million pounds in salary without paying.
Before the controversy with MU ended, the former Ajax star was involved in the above incident and caused the transfer deal to completely collapse.
The fact that De Jong had to give in to Barca was a very surprising thing.
As for De Jong, after MU, dozens of other European `big men` spoke of recruiting him.
However, De Jong’s final decision was made just recently and it surprised everyone.
As the last days of the Handicraft Market approach, De Jong becomes more and more `hot product` but his decision is still to stay at Barca.
Even the 25-year-old midfielder’s representative has already sent notice to Manchester United about De Jong’s decision.
