One of the leaders of the Barcelona team, Frenkie de Jong, was chased by English giants last summer, but in the end he stayed in Catalonia. Manchester United wanted the Dutch midfielder in their squad the most, but all their efforts and negotiations with Barca were in vain. Arriving at the national team's camp, the midfielder admitted that last summer was unusual, but he never thought about leaving Barcelona. "Now everything is much calmer than during the transfer window. True, I always knew what I wanted, so I managed to stay calm during this period. There were many rumors spread, and many things happened behind the scenes. Of course, I cannot reveal all of them. Last transfer window was very unusual for me, but as I mentioned, I understood early on what I wanted. I always wanted to stay in Barca and that position has not changed. This helped me to stay calm," - F. de Jong spoke while talking with foreign journalists.
