Last summer, "Barcelona" team tried to negotiate the transfer of promising "Ajax" midfielder Frenkie de Jong. According to the website "Goal", the Catalans offered 30 million euros and the possibility for the player to spend another year in the Amsterdam club. However, the Dutch giants did not agree to these conditions and said "no". According to the media, "Barcelona" tried to buy De Jong at a relatively favorable price, as they did not want to get involved in a bidding war in the future, where teams like "Man City" and "Tottenham" plan to participate. Earlier, Frenkie had expressed his dream to play in the ranks of a "La Liga" club: "When on vacation in Spain, my grandfather bought me L. Messi's socks. Of course, I would like to play with him in the same club, and since the Argentine is already 31, I have to hurry", - said de Jong.
