Barcelona appear to have performed a drastic U-turn on the future of Frenkie de Jong as they consider selling midfielder Franck Kessie just five months after his arrival from Milan.
De Jong is determined to stay at the Camp Nou despite criticising the club's board for leaking his contract details this summer. De Jong's wage details emerged amid reports the player's contract was not valid over the course of a dramatic summer, when Barca unsuccessfully attempted to offload the player.
Manchester United had an initial transfer fee of £56.2million agreed with Barca last summer but the deal did not go through. Despite both clubs pushing for a deal, the player was not interested in leaving and he subsequently criticised a "campaign with lots of lies" – a jibe which appeared to be aimed at the club.
