It seems that Ten Hag decided to be patient as well, and is ready to hold out until the last minute in order to include the talented midfielder, who was his favorite player while he was with Ajax.
During the past few days, reports emerged that Manchester United had agreed with Barcelona on the value of De Jong’s transfer to Old Trafford, as the two clubs agreed on a deal worth 74 million euros in addition to the variables.
Why was De Jong’s transfer to Manchester United delayed?
Recently, De Jong entered into a confrontation with Barcelona, in light of the Catalan club’s desire to get rid of him given his huge salary, and the fact that the “Blaugrana” already owes the Dutchman with an amount of up to 20 million euros in the form of deferred salaries.
De Jong has also publicly stated his desire to stay at Barcelona, and he also traveled with the team to the United States to participate in the pre-season.
But the sources of the “Mirror” newspaper revealed that De Jong has been in regular contact with Tin Hag during the last period, and that the player is already happy with the idea of moving to Manchester United.
It is believed that it was De Jong’s agent who asked the player not to publicly reveal his desire to move to Manchester United, so as not to weaken the negotiating position in light of the agent’s desire to recover the money owed to him by Barcelona.
