The agents representing Frenkie de Jong are urging him to secure the full volume of back payments owed to him by Barcelona amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future.
The Catalan club have handed a 10-day deadline for any potential transfer of Dutch international De Jong with both Manchester United and Chelsea pursuing a deal. It comes after United boss Erik ten Hag instructed those above him to remain patient on a deal after holding fresh talks with the player.
While United have an initial fee in place with the Catalan club over a transfer which would reunite De Jong with his former Ajax boss Ten Hag, no final agreement is yet in place for a move. United have not given up hope on a deal to land the Dutch international star despite negotiations now into their 13 th week.
