BARCELONA have assured transfer targets significant funds will be raised after Frenkie de Jong's move to Manchester United amid their bid to sign Leeds star Raphinha.
Barca have been embroiled in an intense bidding war to land the winger along with Chelsea and Arsenal but are struggling to meet the Whites' £55million asking price.
According to Manchester Evening News, however, the Blaugrana are confident money won't be an issue after De Jong joins United for a reported £56m fee.
Reports suggest the Red Devils have reached an agreement with the Catalan giants and hope the midfielder will link up with the rest of the team in time to fly to Bangkok for pre-season.
The Netherlands international has accepted he will have to leave the Nou Camp this summer and reunite with former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta will wait for the deal to go through first before sanctioning moves in the market.
