Frenkie De Jong's Transfer Saga Is Predicted To End Soon, Manchester United Agrees To Pay IDR 1 Trillion

JAKARTA - The drama of the transfer of Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona to Manchester United seems to be coming to an end. The English Premier League club has agreed to bring in Frenkie de Jong for a dowry of IDR 1 trillion.

Recent reports suggest a senior Red Devils figure has traveled to Barcelona to realize the deal. MU is rumored to be making a larger upfront payment and an additional £8.5 million.

However, there are still obstacles that block. The 25-year-old player is still under contract with Barcelona. The problem is in the payment of wages that are still in arrears.

The arrears are included in the player's new four-year contract. The new clause was active on July 1 last, as reported by BBC Sport.

Previously there were reports in Spain that Barcelona had told De Jong to leave for financial reasons. Barcelona can keep the player, if they are willing to accept a pay cut.

However, De Jong knows Barcelona will have to honor his contract if he chooses to stay at the Nou Camp. In addition, he is also reluctant to leave without an agreement on the terms of his departure.

MU itself already has alternative players if De Jong does not want to join them. However, they are still willing to give De Jong a chance before taking an alternative route.
