Daily Star Sport exclusively revealed that a bumper increase in wages will persuade De Jong to switch the Nou Camp for The Theatre of Dreams.United chiefs are ready to make De Jong their highest-paid player with a whopping £395,000-a-week salary - and the midfield maestro refused to comment on if Ten Hag had been in contact regarding a summer move."Of course, I hear about the links to Manchester United, but the people in charge of Barca didn't tell me anything," he told Dutch outlet AD.
