And the Dutch midfielder is said to be “very angry” with the Nou Camp club. 1 Frenkie de Jong is said to be unhappy with the way Barcelona are treating himCredit: Getty De Jong, 25, has been at the center of the biggest transfer story of the summer. Manchester United have been chasing him throughout the transfer window, before Chelsea looked on course to steal a potential deal by reportedly agreeing a deal. But for most of the summer, De Jong wanted to stay at Barca. However, SPORT in Spain are now reporting that the midfielder has admitted to team-mates in the dressing room that he could be on his way to Old Trafford. De Jong has been desperate to play Champions League football this season but could be willing to waive that demand. The former Ajax star is still owed millions in unpaid wages which he wants settled before his future is decided. But the report adds that he is now increasingly furious with the way he is being treated by the club and is putting pressure on him to leave. De Jong was given an ultimatum earlier in the summer that he had to take a pay cut or agree to be sold.

A fee of around £72m has already been agreed between United and Barca, who are keen to sell one of their prized assets to raise the necessary funds. However, personal terms should still be sorted. The transfer would be a major boost for Red Devils captain Erik ten Hag, who has once again stated his desire for more signings before the deadline. And Thomas Tuchel will have to find an alternative centre-half if he loses the 44-cap international – although it appeared a deal was on the verge of being completed. As it stands, De Jong is included in Barcelona’s 23-man squad to face Rayo Vallecano tonight. New arrivals Robert Lewandowski, Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen and Raphinha are also involved despite LaLiga registration fears.
