Midfielder Frenkie de Jong is said to have finalized his future when he decided to leave Barcelona to join the Premier League `giant`.
This year’s Summer Tech Market period has less than half a month left until it ends.
Midfielder Frenkie de Jong is said to have made the final decision about his future in the final days of the summer market.
Specifically, after MU reached an agreement to recruit De Jong for the 80 million Euro that Barca wanted, the former Ajax star’s representative asked the Red Devils’ Board of Directors to stop trying to persuade him to join the Old Stadium.
With their unstable financial situation, the Camp Nou team owed the player born in 1997 more than 20 million Euros in salary and refused to pay.
According to the Spanish press, President Joan Laporta did not intend to return the money that Barca should have paid to De Jong.
Barca even issued threats to force De Jong to reduce the above amount to 7 million Euros due to violations when signing the contract from the time of… former President Bartomeu.
After all that, the Spanish newspaper Sport recently confirmed De Jong’s final decision.
De Jong choosing to join Chelsea did not bring many surprises to fans because this was already in the initial prediction.
As for the Blues, they appear to be in no hurry in this deal because they do not want to create more pressure on De Jong so that he can resolve his conflicts with the parent club.
