Barca have made it clear to United that they will not sell De Jong for anything under €86m (£73m). 

The Spanish club are insistent that their hands are tied in this case and the

70mil isn't a high fee for a quality player..

He’s done ✅ F all to warrant that transfer fee. Yes he’s quality but it hasn’t been realized yet certainly not at Barca.

John Cullen

why is this so difficult for them to understand.

agu simeon

Wolves’ asking price for Neves is around 80-100 millions

Hector of Troy

if we don't want to meet there asking price then move on.. Ruben's waiting 😁

don't break your head on De Jong give Garner chance may be he will be better player

The problem with paying the premium price for De jong is every other club will demand premium from us as well. This transfer is very important because it will set the tone for all the other transfers. If Barcelona don’t lower the price then we’ll probably move to an alternative option. I guess our negotiators are holding on because they know Barcelona also need to sell De jong to handle the rest of their own business. I guess that’s why it’s taking this long.

That's why I was with the view, they should keep finalizing other deals, time is going other than depending on this one, you know this is UTD, one of the richest clubs in town if they approach any club prices must be inflated.

Don’t give in to their price. Get up and walk, they’ll come begging.

One Man Studios

Absolutely not, we need to show other clubs we'll no longer be held to ransom and pay over the odds. Barca need the money more than we need de Jong in my opinion.

Mark Jackson

JUST PAY THE 73M  WE MOVE TO THE NEXT DEAL.
