Manchester United has just moved the transfer market by officially offering a contract of 80 million euros to Barcelona to recruit the French midfielder from Jong. This large amount is accompanied by a five -year contract, promising the highest salary and payroll in the history of the club, to persuade the Dutch star to join Old Trafford. This transfer shows the determination of the Red Devils to rebuild the team under the new dynasty, with De Jong considered the perfect room to control the midfielder. With regular performance and exceptional creativity, the 27 -year -old midfielder has long been a privileged target of coach Erik Ten Hag, who worked with him at Ajax.
However, the joy of Manchester United fans was quickly stifled by De Jong’s latest remarks in an exclusive interview. Asked about the rumors of transfer, he did not hesitate to express his love for Barcelona: “I am happy here, Barça is my dream. I want to stay and win more titles. A short sentence, but sufficient to burst the brush of happiness, and at the same time break the hopes of the fans of the Red Devils. This declaration not only highlights De Jong’s loyalty, but also a mental boost for Barcelona in the context where the team is faced with financial pressure.
The Jong affair is not just a matter of money; This also reflects fierce competition between European giants. Manchester United, with abundant financial resources, is trying to regain its position in the Premier League and in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Barcelona, despite her budgetary difficulties, retains her star appeal thanks to her inheritance and influence. De Jong’s refusal to call Manchester United also raised questions as to whether the Old Trafford team could find an alternative target worthy of the name before the summer transfer window 2025.
Anyway, De Jong’s speech temporarily ended rumors about his future. For Barça supporters, it is a positive sign that strengthens their confidence in a successful season. Meanwhile, Manchester United should quickly turn to other objectives so as not to be outdone in the race for rise in power. The transfer market still has many surprises, and De Jong’s history is definitely not over. Will Barcelona can keep his star against other invitations, or will Manchester United come back with a more attractive offer? Only time can answer.
