Frenkie de Jong is atm unhappy and stuck with Barcelona. #mufc would like to take him over but the player will not leave until he receives millions in the form of back payments from the Spanish club. [Marcel van der Kraan, @telegraaf]

Erik ten Hag is a coach who would love to work with Frenkie de Jong again. Of course, #mufc are not so crazy to make an €85 million bid for De Jong if they would know that he does not want to come at all. [Marcel van der Kraan, @telegraaf]

Before a club puts its bag of money on the table, it always examines the player - often through his business manager, to see if he is keen on a transfer. But since Frenkie de Jong is still owed €19m, he refuses to leave or even talk about a transfer his agent told me. [Marcel van der Kraan]

Barça wants to pressurise Frenkie de Jong and force to cooperate 'voluntarily'. Agent Ali Dursun, who has honestly told that a new club is ready for his player, has already said that Joan Laporta with his club must fulfill all obligations first. [Marcel van der Kraan]

So far Barca have played 3 friendlies and he’s not started and. And has only been used as a second half sub playing CB. They really are f. Ucking him over!!!

Full Article:


>Does Frenkie really want to leave Barcelona?

>No, he would prefer to play soccer in Spain for years to come. With his girlfriend he has bought a nice house near Barcelona and he thinks he plays at one of the most beautiful clubs in the world. But when the chairman and the coach announce in every press conference that it is 'economically' more sensible to get rid of you and new players come in for a fortune, you know what time it is. The bullying has also started sportingly, as midfielder Frenkie was benched at the weekend and was only allowed to fill in as a defender.

>Manchester United rolled out the red carpet, nice solution right?

>And there with the Dutchman Erik ten Hag is a trainer who would love to work with Frenkie again. Of course, Manchester United are not so crazy to make an 85 million bid for Frenkie if they would know that he does not want to come at all. Before a club puts its bag of money on the table, it always probes the player - often through his business manager - to see if he is keen on a transfer. The Premier League and a world club like Manchester United are therefore an easy way out. But since the player is still owed a lot of salary, some 19 million euros, he refuses to leave or even talk about a transfer.

>Is Barcelona's president Laporta playing a dirty game?

>Ronald Koeman, as coach of Barcelona, experienced how the current president, elected by the socios, can play on the public and has his own way behind the scenes. In the interests of the club, Koeman kept his jaw shut for a very long time. Koeman was eventually sacked and Frenkie immediately lost his greatest support.

>Can a club force a player to make a transfer and withhold money?

>No. The legal cases of footballers who are still entitled to their salaries are piled up in files meters high at the world football association FIFA. They are lengthy issues and in the end the footballer always wins. But it hasn't come to that yet. Barcelona wants to use pressure to force Frenkie to cooperate 'voluntarily'. His agent Ali Dursun, who has honestly told that a new club is ready for his player, has already said that Laporta with his club must fulfill all obligations first.

>Should we feel sorry for Frenkie?

>With top athletes who earn between ten and twenty million euros a year, no one needs to feel sorry. This Dutch national team player has a luxury problem. The reason the general public wants to see this solved is that every soccer fan wants to see Frenkie shine every week. If not at Barcelona, then at another European top club. In addition, every professional footballer knows that the biggest clubs in the world he is at the mercy of the whims of a club president or owner. They are wolverines and they see new stars every year. France's PSG first give Georginio Wijnaldum a contract of almost 10 million a year and then put him ice-cold on the bench.

 
The pull that sham of a football club continues to hold over people is one of lifespan's continuing mysteries. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Utterly mental but glitz and glamour trumps everything I guess.

Should have been one of the first things Utd did when you'd have got him for a decent price. But when you daley and let Ajax move on everyone they have to sell, this and getting bent over for Martinez on the price is the result this late in the window.

It can't be understated just how bad they've conducted this window. ten Hag must be fuming.

Erik ten Hag and Darren Fletcher talking this week on whether/where to send Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal on loan. Hard-working, grounded pair impressed on and off the pitch on #MUFC tour. Plenty of promise but obviously both still developing. Need games.

Nottingham Forest top priority for the midfield is William Carvalho. Talks on - been told there’s strong interest in the Portuguese midfielder. #NFFC Huge opportunity for William in the Premier League with ambitious club like NFFC, pushing to sign him as priority target.
 
Seriously, what a mess. Most rivals have already wrapped up their business and United have not even started yet.

Jules Koundé to Barcelona, here we go! Verbal agreement now in place with Sevilla after the long saga and further negotiations today, waiting to get it signed soon. #FCB

Jules Koundé agreed personal terms with Barça last weekend, contract ready. Xavi, key factor again.
 
@FabrizioRomano
AS Roma and Paris Saint-Germain, in direct contact for Gini Wijnaldum. All parties keen on completing the move but there’s still work to be done on salary/more details.
