According to Mundo Deportivo, if De Jong does not move to Manchester United, Barcelona will face Financial Fair Play issues, forcing them to sell him.
The alternative approach would be to reduce the gross weekly wage of £488,000, but the Netherlands international has stated that he will not accept a pay drop if he remains at the Nou Camp.
Moreover, he continues to insist that he does not want to leave. The Blaugrana are aware of the situation and are looking to resolve it.
