Barcelona remain determined to sell Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United.

Marca says the two sides are still at loggerheads. The club wants him to leave so they can save money, but the player wants to stay.

As a result, the club is considering more forceful measures and it remains to be seen whether he will go on the tour of the United States.

Manchester United are pushing very hard for the Dutch international and are prepared to pay a high price.

Talks have been going on for weeks and have intensified in recent days when the English club's directors travelled to Barcelona and held several meetings with Barcelona's sporting directors.

Barcelona are currently in the midst of a salary restructuring process and contracts such as De Jong's are not part of this new reality.

The player will receive a fixed salary of 21 million euros next season and almost 28 million euros the following season, in addition to the bonuses he can receive for games played and titles won.
