Barcelona 'are blaming LaLiga's unforgiving financial rules' for their £70million asking price for Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong.
Talks between the two clubs are ongoing as United try to seal a deal for the Holland midfielder, who is new manager Erik ten Hag's primary transfer target this summer.
United would like to pay in the region of £60m for De Jong, with the possibility of a further £5m in add-ons, but Barcelona wish to recoup as much of the £65m they paid Ajax for the player back in 2019.
