Arnold said: “As a club we are doing everything possible to complete the deal, I have been awake for days trying to complete it. “Money exists, but there are things that stand in our way that I can not say.” The problems are that De Jong does not want to leave the Nou Camp, while coach Xavi wants a replacement ready if he leaves. United also do not want to pay the 64 million pounds that Barça paid to get him from Ajax in first place.
