Manchester United remain heavily interested in Barcelona midfielder Frenkie De Jong.
The Red Devils hadn't yet given up on getting the Dutchman's signature despite the player's intention of staying at Camp Nou.
According to 90min, Erik ten Has informed the 25-year-old's agents about his desire of having the midfielder in his squad.
Although De Jong's ongoing clear statement that he would prefer to stay in Catalonia, the Premier League giants insist that the transfer would not work until Barca returns the player's millions of unpaid wages from the pandemic.
The Netherlands international's current deal expires in 2026 and in those four years, Blaugranas will need to pay him a total of €88.7 million in salary and bonuses.
