Frenkie de Jong appreciates the post banging Barcelona's treatment of him amid the Man United transfer link.
The Dutch international midfielder has slammed Barcelona's treatment of him during the transfer saga, which has now lasted more than two months with no resolution.
Frenkie de Jong liked an Instagram post criticizing Barcelona's treatment of him amid Manchester United's interest in him.
De Jong is currently on a pre-season tour of the United States with the Blaugrana, departing days after United CEO Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough left the Catalan capital without a deal in place after several days of negotiating.
An initial transfer fee of £56.2 million has been agreed between the two clubs, with reports claiming that the United chiefs' visit to Barcelona last week resulted in an agreement on an overall package worth around £72 million. However, no agreement has been reached with the player.
United would not surrender on a deal and will continue to seek De Jong for the remainder of the transfer window, believing that the player wants to join the club and be reunited with his former boss Erik ten Hag, who is driving the Red Devils' interest.
Despite their public stance that he is not for sale, Barcelona is privately open to his departure, and United's understanding is that a deal is being held up by outstanding payments owed to De Jong.
The Dutch international is one of the highest earners at Camp Nou, and he is also owed a series of payments through amortizations and other clauses in his contract.
For the first time, De Jong has expressed open dissatisfaction with the way Barcelona has treated him during the transfer saga. The midfielder liked a user's Instagram post that said, "I dislike the way we handled Frenkie's situation."
The outstanding monies owed to De Jong coincide with the club's signings of Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski during the summer transfer window, as Xavi has rejuvenated his squad. While all of these moves have been confirmed, the club will have to justify their financial situation in order to register them for the upcoming La Liga season.
The Spanish league has strict financial rules that all clubs must follow, and if Barcelona is to register their new quartet of signings, they must first reduce their current wage bill. The sale of De Jong would go a long way toward justifying the club's actions.
However, the player is said to have played no active role in the club's stance, and Barcelona has not included him.
