According to ‘The Sun’, Barça would have asked Maguire as an exchange for De Jong
Barça and Manchester United are close to reaching an agreement just for the Dutchman
The future of Frenkie de Jong is still up in the air, although everything is heading towards Old Trafford. The latest information suggests that both teams are called to understand each other by the Dutchman, but United still need to raise their financial offer for him. The soap opera could end before Thursday, the date set by the clubs.
But this Sunday the surprise has jumped, and it is that the British media ‘The Sun’ has published that Barça wanted to include Maguire in the operation. According to the information, the azulgranas wanted the English center-back as a bargaining chip for Frenkie. It is added that he was rejected from Manchester because Ten Hag wants to work with him.
Maguire, who has not played, by far, his best season, has been criticized on many occasions for his fans, with whom he has completely ‘disconnected’ this course. Despite this, the 87 million pounds that United paid for him continues to make it difficult for him to leave.
In any case, it seems difficult to understand how FC Barcelona, in an operation that would help improve the economy of the cluba footballer with a high salary would be taken in exchange, having to face later the signing of a midfielder of the level of De Jong.
