The excitement levels of Manchester United supporters increased once again after reports in Spain suggested Barcelona have already prepared a farewell video for Frenkie de Jong.
The Netherlands international, who joined Barcelona from Ajax back in 2019, is very close to sealing a big-money move to Old Trafford after United reached an agreement with the Spanish giants earlier this week. The Manchester Evening News understands that the Reds have agreed an initial fee of €65million (£56.14m) to sign the Dutchman.
Along with countryman Tyrell Malacia, De Jong is poised to become one of the first signings of the Erik ten Hag era. The United manager installed De Jong as his top transfer target in early May, and the Reds have been forced to play a patient game to now stand on the cusp of getting the deal over the line.
