Senior Barcelona official Eduard Romeu has extraordinarily claimed that £426m (€500m) is needed to “save” the club, meaning a host of players could be leaving including Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News last month, United are interested in signing the Barcelona midfielder and are weighing up a big-money offer. United are desperate to strengthen their midfield options this summer and De Jong is a leading target for manager Erik ten Hag.
Barcelona have debts of around €1bn (£850m), according to the Athletic, and as a result have been hit hard by La Liga’s financial rules.
