Fresh update emerges on Frenkie de Jong to Man Utd transfer

Barcelona manager Xavi has provided a fresh update on the future of Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong.

United agreed a fee in principle with the Catalan giants back in June for the services of De Jong.

However, due to issues regarding wage deferrals, it is understood that the Dutch midfielder is so far unwilling to leave Camp Nou.

Despite this, as recently as the end of last week, United were still focused entirely on securing the signature of De Jong having ruled that their alternative options were not as strong as the 25-year-old.

However, Isagoal understands that the Reds have reluctantly decided that they must also pursue other midfielders.

Speaking in a press conference on Friday, Xavi was asked about the futures of Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and De Jong, the former is reportedly wanted by Chelsea.

Discussing the Dutchman, the 42-year-old said: “It is the same as Auba, he is important to me.

“He’s in the squad and we will use him. I don’t know what will happen between now and 31 August, but not just with Frenkie or with Auba, with almost everyone in the squad.”
