They sure do talk a lot about a player which they rate and want to keep.
Xavi clearly is fine with him being sold with the way he's saying about how he's a key player for him but it depends on their economic situation. If you want him, you want him. He's not gonna come outright and say "yes we have to sell him" because than Barcelona are gonna get lowballed.
Each one of them teams has at least 1 midfielder that is better then the whole of our midfield
Liverpool signed Henderson from Sunderland and Roberson from hull and made them world beaters ffs.Looks like we're putting all our eggs in this basket, we need to make sure it comes off.
It literally looks nothing like that
One link from Romero, Barca being a bit coy about his future and him previously having played under ETH have spawned all the pages and this assumption
To be fair we have no idea what the truth is. All of these press statements are to be interpreted, and the reality could be very different.
Romero is really reliable for Barça. In fact, I have no doubts that there have been conversations between Barça and United for De Jong. However, since Romero opened his Twitch Jigantes, he has been exaggerating a bit to obtain viewers. Well, he as well as other similar journalists.

Exactly, that's what I expect Ten Hag to do.
Yes, because we're being linked with plenty of CM/CDM. Or do you consider Lazios president whoring out Milinkovic-Savic as being linked with a CM?
Adding FDJ would improve our midfield enormously, he would give us something we've lacked forever and also be one of if not the best midfielders in the league.
What are our replacement options ? I have no idea if there is a player remotely similar to FDJ who is available.
Fabian Ruiz, Soler, Nunes (Sporting) all could be interesting options.

Yeah he has had a shocker with this one
Yeah surely with Matic gone we couldn't possibly be that negligent again
Not the end of June yet, give it time.
So you take no news as nothing is happening?
They are getting their fan base mentally ready for the player leaving. He is clearly available in the market and for the right price.
Romero didn't say 95% done. He said 95% likely to join United.
Barca have been messing around Gavis renewal apparently…
Get them both.
Get them both.
We've had news, we're trying to bring in de Jong.
We're also missing a beat in not going for Palhinha, Wolves are now in talks for him.
Romano mentioned that Barca wants 80m euros for him. Some reports earlier suggested we want to pay around 60m euros for him. That's why latest comments from Laporta. They are going to sell to highest bidder and want to drive the price up as much as possible as he is the only player that will fetch them good money.
I feel he's worth 80 mill but it's understandable to try to lowball them considering their perilous financial situation.
We could possibly get him for a lot lower than that obviously if nobody is in for him but then we're risking him possibly missing the pre season with us in that case.

50 million is the absolute max.
80 million for someone who's been utterly underwhelming for atleast 2 campaigns is abit mad.

Your talking €‘s right?
Just get this guy
I mean it’s not even close. Frenkie is so much better than him. I’m assuming ETH must have gotten at least some encouragement for us to be in for him still. Not that I expect him to join, just saying.
Still a week to go.
If United are only going to offer €50M it is better not to waste valuable time to look for other players.
Soler for 25M is a great signing.
Zubimendi 50-60M
I hope it's just stuck on finances rather than the player himself not wanting to come.
Finances can be solved if ETH really wants him.

Yeah, he's very good. Would be a fight trying to get them to sell him though.
I feel Lewandowski (spelling?) is the key part of the puzzle. If he signs for Barca then DeJong is more than likely looking to sign with us.
With the Phillips to Man City link, we might have one less competition for De Jong. Good news.
The key part of the puzzle is whether Ten Hag can convince FDJ. That's it.
Only seen Nunes a couple times but he looked a really good fit for the Prem in particular. Could see Liverpool going for him after missing out on Tchouameni.
If we are really serious about this, we need to get it done. Replicating the Woodward method of offering a bag of fish and chips will show we still haven't learnt anything.
have they missed out on Tchouameni for sure? I know Madrid are leading the way, but they seem to have caught the United transfer feck-up illness recently...
Were getting him boys..... or at least someone is going to.
He didn't say that did he? Thought he said 95% likely? Might be wrong though.
