Sport says De Jong's agents touched down in the city yesterday afternoon and have been in talks with Barca directors since this morning.

Barca want De Jong to accept a move away, but the midfielder is demanding an outstanding €17m he is owed in deferred wages before departing.

Both parties have exchanged legal messages in the past week - despite De Jong still insisting he wants to stay.
