Barcelona president Joan Laporta has issued a fresh update on Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong's future in Spain.
United have been embroiled in a long-running transfer saga as they bid to bring De Jong to Old Trafford, with a deal in principle having been agreed last month. However, no further breakthrough has since been made.
Senior sources at United have claimed that wages owed to De Jong are proving a major sticking point at present. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old has been dropped into a centre-back role during pre-season.
