The PSG board is on fire. After the Parisian team left, the team spent some time on the market, but now they are working hard to secure their fourth signing of the summer. For this reason, they have reportedly set their sights on one of the FC Barcelona players, who their coach, Luis Enrique, really likes.
For the moment, the Parisians have secured the signings of Matvey Safonov, Joao Neves and Willian Pacho, who will reinforce the goal, midfield and defence, respectively. The Spanish coach is satisfied with the transfers, but wants more. One of his wishes is in Barcelona and, coincidentally, he is one of the players that Deco would like to get rid of.
We are talking about Frenkie De Jong, the Dutch player who is again on the list of possible sales of the Barça board. From France they know the desire of the Spaniards to get rid of the player as soon as possible, since he is the highest-paid player in Hansi Flick's team. They therefore want to take advantage of the situation and get him out of Barcelona for a much lower price than his real value. As for the salary, there will be no problems due to the Parisians' solid financial situation.
PSG wants to pay between 30 and 40 million for De Jong
At PSG they know that Barça is not in a position to demand too much for the Dutchman, because all the clubs know that Frenkie's salary is causing problems in the Barcelona team's accounts and they want to get rid of him. This situation has caused the offers that come in to be lower than his value, so the Parisians are offering between 30 and 40 million. Ajax is another entity that has asked, but the president, Joan Laporta, hopes to sell him to the highest bidder.
Another club that has also shown interest is Erik ten Hag's Manchester United. The Dutch coach wants to emulate his success at Ajax and wants to have his former player in England, so an offer from the 'Red Devils' is expected in the next few days. This duel between clubs would benefit Barça, who will take advantage to get the most benefit possible from the operation.
