Manchester United plan to make one final attempt to land Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
The hunt for De Jong has turned into the summer’s biggest transfer saga as negotiations between the two side’s and the player prepare to enter their twelfth week.
United are willing to make the Dutch midfielder the club’s highest paid player by matching his current £450,000-a-week salary.
Sport says United are also willing to pay the £17m De Jong is owed by Barcelona in deferred wages.
It’s understood Manchester United‘s transfer chiefs will try and meet the Dutch star’s representatives when Barcelona return from their pre-season tour of America.
The issue surrounding outstanding wage payments has been the biggest stumbling point so far in efforts to bring the ex-Ajax midfielder to Old Trafford.
