Following Ajax’s qualification to the group stages of the Champions League, their midfielder, Frenkie De Jong admitted that he dreams of playing for Barcelona in the future after failing to seal a switch to Camp Nou in the summer transfer window.
Mundo Deportivo claims the La Liga winners will face tough competition from Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, AS Roma, Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur in signing the 21-year-old.
The Catalan newspaper suggests the north London club are the latest club to show interest in the player and are the ‘most interested’ side in signing the Dutch international.
Having decided not to sign any player in the summer transfer window, the report mentions the English club will have cash at their disposal in signing De Jong, who would cost at least €50m next summer.
In addition to this, the midfielder has already said ‘yes’ to join Barcelona next season, but his continuity at Ajax has left the door open for other clubs make an approach for him.
Tottenham claims started with the English media, so unless this is fresh Mundo Deportivo information, which isn’t made clear, then they’ve picked up the story and run with it.
