Frenkie de Jong is 'REFUSING to negotiate with Man United and Chelsea' and 'will NOT agree to lower his wages' at Barcelona despite the club 'threatening legal action over his 2020 extension', as ugly summer transfer saga continues

Frenkie de Jong is reportedly refusing to negotiate with Chelsea and Manchester United, despite the two Premier League clubs being interested in signing the Barcelona midfielder.

De Jong has been linked with a move to Old Trafford throughout the summer, while Chelsea recently joined the race for his signature, but de Jong is refusing to consider a move, as things stand, according to Spanish outlet Sport.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are currently trying to convince de Jong to take a reduction to his salary, but the Dutchman is not agreeing to their demands, and has made it clear that he will not be pressured into lowering his wages.
