Laporta told reporters: "There are clubs that want him, not just United. We have no intention of selling him, he wants to stay.

"Frenkie is considered as one of the best midfielders in the world by all the experts. We are happy to have him.

"I'm going to do everything I can in my power so that Frenkie stays here, but there's also a salary issue and that would have to be adjusted."

De Jong has made 137 appearances for Barcelona and has scored 12 goals in his time with the club. body check tags ::
