Last summer, the defender Frenkie De Jong, who joined the "Barcelona" club, revealed that he was one step away from moving to England or France. The 22-year-old Dutchman told the newspaper "El Periodico". "If it wasn't for "Barcelona", it's hard to say what would have happened, but most likely I would have gone from "Ajax" to PSG or "Man City"," said F. De Jong. According to him, the decision was not influenced by money. "It's not right to talk about it. Money was not important to me, I didn't talk about it during negotiations. My agent handled those matters. The most important thing was the playing style of "Barcelona" and how they imagined me in their plans. I talked to my family, agent, and we chose "Barça". Then my representative came here to negotiate." In this La Liga season, F. De Jong scored 1 goal and made 1 assist in 6 matches.
