Barcelona’s President, Joan Laporta, has said both the club and Frenkie de Jong are unwilling to part ways.
Manchester United are interested in signing Frenkie de Jong for a £63.5m deal. The deal is yet to be finalised.
But according to international reports, the Netherlands midfielder’s move could hit a deadlock.
President Joan Laporta said “He (Frenkie de Jong) has offers but we want him to stay and he wants to stay too.”
He further added that the 25-year-old is a player of “great quality”
De Jong has also been linked with a move to Chelsea.
Reports suggest that Barcelona want De Jong to take a wage cut should he remain at the Nou Camp, amid the club’s financial troubles.
The club are currently involved in a disagreement with De Jong over wages deferred by the Dutchman in the last couple of years which are now due to be paid.
Barcelona have so far spent over £120m this summer on new signings Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Kounde, with Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie arriving on free transfers.
Barcelona raised money for transfers this summer by selling shares of their domestic television rights and in-house production company, Barca Studios.
However, the club has failed to register the players with La Liga requesting that more money be raised.
Should Barcelona not register their new signings in time, they will not be available for their season opener against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.
