The ongoing saga surrounding Frenkie de Jong took a fresh twist on Wednesday afternoon when pictures emerged of his agent preparing for a meeting with Barcelona's hierarchy.
The midfielder is wanted by Manchester United and has been their number one target for months. United's new boss Erik ten Hag worked with De Jong when the pair were at Ajax and is keen on a reunion in Manchester.
But with barely three weeks of the transfer window remaining there is still no end in sight. To further complicate matters, the Dutch international, who is Barca's highest earning player, is also owed an additional €17million in unpaid wages. The problem for the club is that they are currently unable to process such payments, which has complicated the player’s future. Resolving this issue has been central to recent meetings.
