This could be a case of the domino effect, where in the effort of Barcelona to bring back Messi there is a player that could arrive to Manchester United.

Messi is looking to make his way back to Barcelona, and in that journey he might send some players to another teams, like in this case.

Messi is looking to leave PSG when the season ends and he wants to have a second run with Barcelona, on top of that the club from Spain have already revealed that they are going to do everything it takes in order to actually get the World Cup winner back to the team, and that might lead to the need of selling a bunch of players.

One of the players that could leave Barcelona is Frenkie de Jong, and he might be looking to arrive at Manchester United, the fact is that Barcelona has been told by La Liga that they need to get 210 million euros off their books from wages and transfers before they can even sign players, and they are not going to be able to use the loophole they used last season.

That is a big amount of money that the team needs to move and selling a high value player like Frenkie de Jong could really help Barcelona achieve that goal way faster than expected, and it is a well known fact that Erik ten Hag would really love to get De Jong to his team once again, after sharing some time at Ajax together.

Frenkie de Jong salary

On top of the money from the transfer they would also get rid of the salary that De Jong currently has that goes up to the 19 million euros mark, that could mean that if they manage to sell him at the price of 80 million euros they could free 100 million euros with just one player, and that could bring Barcelona closer to sign Messi once again.
