Barcelona boss Xavi has enlisted the help of Barcelona chiefs Jordi Cruyff and Mateu Alemany in an attempt to convince Frenkie de Jong to leave the Nou Camp.
De Jong is one of Manchester United 's top targets for the summer transfer window, with Erik ten Hag keen to reunite with the midfielder. But so far, the Dutchman has been unwilling to force through an exit and is instead hopeful of staying in Catalonia.
Barca's highly-publicisied financial issues means that decision could be taken out of his hands though. Xavi is desperate to finally begin a long-awaited rebuild of his squad, but first he needs the money that selling a player like De Jong would bring in.
