Perhaps the June gloom is about to lift for Manchester United, partly indebted to the second financial quarter's end date of June 30.
That date signals the end of the financial year for La Liga clubs and a transfer fee for Frenkie de Jong would be filed among Barcelona's results, which have a bearing on their salary limits for next season.
The Barcelona president Joan Laporta said last month: “If we can sort out the club’s finances before June 30, and I think we will, then we will be able to undertake all the operations we have planned.” One day more, another day, another destiny. Les Miserables was parodied for transfer deadlines years ago.
