Barcelona are still refusing to commit to paying Frenkie de Jong the €17million from his restructured contract, perpetuating the impasse over his potential move to Manchester United.
The Independent has been told that the Catalan club have continued to try and lean on the emotional aspect of the situation in talks, and what would represent "the good of the club". De Jong has understandably remained resolute in his stance, and is insisting he will stay.
