It’s expected Manchester United will make a second bid for Barcelona ’s Frenkie de Jong this week.
The Red Devils made an initial offer of €60million (£51.3m) plus a potential €10m (£8.6m) in add-ons last week, only for this to be rejected by the Catalan club. It’s anticipated United will make a second bid thought to be in the region of €70m (£60.1m) plus add-ons for the 25-year-old.
Barcelona’s difficult financial situation means they may be forced to sell the Dutchman in order to free up funds to strengthen other areas of their squad. However, it’s not yet clear whether United’s potential second bid will meet Barcelona’s valuation.
