Barcelona's main goal will be to sell Frenkie de Jong and sign Bernardo Silva with practically a similar cash. So they dont need to lose in this sort of arrangement.
"At similar point they need to ensure that with La Liga rules, they can reinvest the full piece of this cash that they would get from Man Utd Frenkie de Jong.
"To this end the arrangement isn't so quick, for this reason the two clubs are still in touch however there is still no understanding."
Furthermore, Romano is certain that Man Utd will "keep endlessly trying" to make it happen for De Jong as they hope to "send this message to the market".

"He has all the time in the world to leave the club. He's holding back to comprehend how Barcelona need to manage him.
"It's a truly unusual arrangement for the timing however I'm certain Man Utd will keep endlessly attempting in light of the fact that they need to send this message to the market."
