It seems that "Barcelona" is ready to release another impressive amount on yet another rising football star.
This time, the Catalans are targeting the midfielder Frenkie De Jong, known as a wonderkid from "Ajax".
It is reported that "Barca" is preparing a 50 million euro offer for the 21-year-old Dutch player. However, "Ajax" sports director Marc Overmars earlier stated that he would not allow young players from the team, like F. De Jong, to leave this summer even for insane amounts of money.
F. De Jong himself confirmed that it is unlikely that he will move to "Barcelona" this summer, but he did not completely reject this possibility.
"I know they are interested in me, but I am still an "Ajax" player and cannot say much more about it. Of course, you never know everything, but there is a very good chance that I will stay in "Ajax" this season. I really want to play in the Champions League with "Ajax," - said F. De Jong.
During the last season, the player made 8 assists in 22 matches in the "Eredivisie" championship.
This season, the midfielder appeared in five matches, but did not manage to make his name on the statistics sheet in those.
