Overview

- Manchester United’s stance is unchanged: pay the pre‑agreed €30m or the player returns for potential sale to other suitors.
- Barcelona are assessing lower‑cost fallback options, with Abde Ezzalzouli and Jan Virgili identified by Marca as alternatives if the deal is not executed.
- Discussions include spreading the fee over installments, and a finance expert suggests United could seek a small added charge to offset financing costs.
