If Frenkie de Jong joins Manchester United, he would be paid more than Cristiano Ronaldo

Is it the end of Frenkie de Jong at Barcelona? For weeks now, Manchester United's interest in signing him for the club's new phase with Erik ten Hag as a coach has been taking shape. The desire of the coach, successor of Ralf Rangnick, to have him is such that he has obtained very attractive economic conditions for him. What he has not been able to get is his "yes" for the moment.

'Daily Star' claims that the Red Devils are willing to pay him 22.25 million euros per season. This would mean becoming the player with the highest salary in the squad. He would surpass the 'top 3' that, at the moment, are David de Gea (21.13 million), Jadon Sancho (19.72) and Raphaël Varane (19.15).

By how much would he surpass Cristiano Ronaldo?

Right behind is Cristiano Ronaldo with a salary of 17 million euros per season -these figures, always according to 'Dail Star'-. It is worth remembering that the Portuguese player returned to Old Trafford, the scene of his first moments of pure brilliance as a professional, after leaving Juventus. His years in Italy were enough to excel in Serie A, but not to reach the Champions League.

In any case, Frenkie de Jong could soon become his teammate and it is in the pipeline for Barcelona to allow it. If the Azulgrana president, Joan Laporta, wishes to further boost his budgets, he could accept the Englishman's proposal, which, although it has not been leaked in exact terms, must be quite high.
