De Jong is owed an estimated £17m by the club in deferred wages, which is a complicated issue that would need to be resolved.

Chelsea could lure De Jong to West London with Champions League football on the table – something Man Utd can’t offer.
And former United ace Depay, 28, has also been offered to Chelsea with the Blues being kept informed on his situation.
Doing such a deal with Chelsea would be beneficial for both parties.
Barca are desperately trying to offload players to allow them to sign Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso from Chelsea.
Tuchel had a good relationship with Aubameyang, in particular, during their time together at Borussia Dortmund.
Following Aubameyang being stripped of the Arsenal captaincy last year, Tuchel said: “I will (reach out to him). I don’t want to disturb.
“I think that he was a very important player for me, we had a very close relationship until today. When we meet it is still always very nice.
“I can only say the best things about Auba as a player and person. I feel sorry for him that he is in trouble.
“This is not where he should be with his kind of quality and positive character.”
