Barcelona supporters were filmed pleading with Frenkie de Jong to stay at the club... just 24 hours after shouting expletives at him.
The Netherlands international, 25, is in the middle of a tough dispute over his contract. Barcelona owe him £17million in deferred wages - due to be paid across the next four years - but are trying to persuade him to accept just a fraction of that and lower his salary.
If De Jong is unwilling to accept a pay cut, Barcelona want him to complete a summer transfer to either Chelsea or Manchester United. The Spanish giants need to make sales to register their new signings, including Robert Lewandowski and Jules Kounde.
