Manchester United launches million-dollar bid for De Jong to FC Barcelona and puts the competition on the ropes

The fight for Frenkie de Jong has been long and difficult, but Manchester United is convinced that the player is the piece they need for their squad to finally regain the prominence they once had and almost regained last season, but failed in the decisive moments and had to settle for sixth place in the Premier League and have reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.

And to ensure that this does not happen again next season, Erik ten Hag is already asking the Red Devils' board for their next reinforcements for the upcoming campaign.

And if there is a reinforcement that both Ten Hag and the Old Trafford board want is Frenkie de Jong, for whom Manchester United already made a millionaire offer and it only remains to know if FC Barcelona is willing to accept, but everything seems to indicate that yes, since the player's departure would mean for the team to be free of the need to pay the player's salary, which is quite high, and at the same time they would have the important income to be able to sign new reinforcements for next season. 

The millionaire offer that United launched for De Jong and with which it left the competition on the ropes

According to Marca, the Red Devils have submitted a proposal of €60 million fixed plus another €20 million in incentives for the Dutch midfielder, an amount with which they hope to show the club that they are serious about the player. In this way, Xavi's team has the upper hand when considering whether this amount is enough for the former Ajax player.
