Gary Neville brands Barcelona a "disgrace" amid Frenkie De Jong transfer standoff

Gary Neville has aimed a fresh dig at Barcelona over their treatment of Frenkie de Jong after the La Liga giants announced they had agreed a deal for Sevilla star Jules Kounde.

Barca are attempting to force De Jong to either accept a move away from the Camp Nou or take a substantial salary cut. So far, the Dutchman has resisted those efforts, to the frustration of both Barca and Manchester United, who are keen to sign the 25-year-old.

While they have insisted they cannot afford to keep De Jong, Barca have continued to make big-money moves in the transfer window. Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie have all arrived in Catalonia this summer, signings that appear to be at odds with the club's financial situation.
