It is an important transfer window for both Man United and Barcelona, information which have been rebuilt under the guidance of INEOS and the latter will hope to continue moving down the ladder after a few poor years.
The Catalan giants are still able to sign big-name players, with Dani Olmo the latest to move to Barca, while the Nico Williams deal is not completely dead in the water.
However, it seems they are still walking by the seat of their pants about whether they can stay on the right side of Financial Fair Play, and that means they need to sell to give them some breathing room.
Man United's de Jong decision
One player who could get them a decent price in the transfer market is the dynamic midfield ace, Frenkie de Jong.
The Dutchman has been a key figure for Erik ten Hag at his excellent Ajax side, so it's no surprise that the Red Devils have been linked with the 24-year-old.
With United looking to offload the likes of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, there is an opportunity to slot de Jong into an impressive central midfield alongside the likes of Bruno Fernandes.
According to Metro, however, United will not sign the player this summer.
Perhaps it's the expected money that Barca would have wanted, coupled with de Jong's unbelievable salary (£617,876 per week according to Capalogy) that is keeping them down.
After all, Casemiro is pushing the door with his salary (£350,000) believed to be unaffordable, so the Red Devils will not be in the habit of paying someone else an extra £267,000 a week.
