Barcelona manager Xavi admits he does not know if Frenkie de Jong will stay at the Nou Camp this summer amid long-standing interest in the Netherlands midfielder from Manchester United.
De Jong, 25, remains the priority target for Erik ten Hag after the newly-appointed Dutchman struck up moves for Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez. An ongoing push for De Jong has not been straightforward, though, despite United initially reaching an agreement in principle.
Complications have arisen due to wages that were deferred by De Jong during the Covid-19 pandemic and it was understood that money would effectively be paid back over the duration of his four-year contract. However, there has yet to be a breakthrough in that regard and it seems De Jong doesn't want to leave Barca.
