"Barcelona" loses the battle for the signing of F. de Jong

The Catalan media have been restless all week with reports that Frenkie de Jong is a priority target for "Barcelona," but the truth is that "Barca" faces huge competition.

According to "Goal.com," the Catalans are not currently considered favorites to acquire the Dutch football sensation. According to them, "Manchester City" is ready to pay a record amount - 80 million euros.

Pep Guardiola considers him an ideal player for his system, so the "citizens" are willing to pay huge sums of money.

"Marca" claims that the same amount is being offered by Paris Saint-Germain, which has been looking for a good defensive midfielder for some time.

Amsterdam's "Ajax" is not willing to hear any offers at the moment, but promises to enter into negotiations after the new year. However, the chances of him being allowed to leave this winter are very slim.
