Man Utd closer to Barca agreement De Jong

block

Manchester United have reached a broad agreement over a 65m euro (£56m) fee, plus add-ons, with Barcelona for the Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong. However, club sources say the deal is not done and there are still significant issues to work through. But the development is seen as positive in terms of the transfer eventually reaching a conclusion. The 25-year-old is new United manager Erik ten Hag’s number one summer transfer target. Ten Hag lead training for the first time on Monday with his non-international players. United are still to make any signings this summer as they await a response from Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen, 30, who also has an offer on the table from Brentford.
