La Liga president warns Barcelona over Frenkie de Jong treatment amid Manchester United interest

La Liga president Javier Tebas has sent a warning to Barcelona over their handling of Frenkie de Jong.

Manchester United are embroiled in a long-running transfer saga with Barca and the Dutch midfielder after Erik ten Hag highlighted the 25-year-old as a key target. In June, United agreed a deal in principle for De Jong with the Catalan club.
