It seems that Frenkie de Jong to United is just a matter of time. The Dutch player would be willing to accept the English club's offer to bring him to Old Trafford.

Frenkie de Jong is getting closer to becoming a Manchester United player. Recent reports claim that the Dutch international is open to accepting the English club's proposal this summer.

Gerard Romero reports this on his Twitch channel 'Jijantes', where he claims that everything has been finalised for De Jong's transfer to Old Trafford, but there is a problem with bonuses which is delaying proceedings.

It seems that his agent is delaying the move because he is still waiting to collect a bonus that Josep Bartomeu, Barcelona's director, had promised him.

According to Romero, the current board of directors are not ready to provide this sum of money, although it could be included in the transfer of De Jong to United, which will be closed at around 80 million euros.

Barcelona, who the midfielder is contracted to until 2026, and United have practivally finalised the transfer agreement for the 25 year-old. 'The Times' have even dared to put a date on the deal: his transfer will be finalised before 30th June.
