Barcelona are reportedly willing to reach a compromise with Manchester United and agree a £70m fee, plus add-ons, for Frenkie de Jong.
The Spanish giants had slapped a £85m price tag on their player but are having to rethink their stance amid their money worries. The club are thought to have debts of around £850m meaning they could be forced to sell a number of their key players in order to operate under La Liga finance rules.
The Manchester Evening News previously reported that De Jong is Erik ten Hag’s top transfer target. And although De Jong has admitted that his preference is to stay at the Nou Camp, the midfielder has accepted the current situation at Barcelona and is thought to be open to a reunion with his former Ajax boss.
