Frenkie De Jong unveils two TWO clubs that he refused in order to achieve the dream transfer of Barcelona

Frenkie De Jong revealed that he had spoken to Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain before deciding to sign for Barcelona.

Barcelona, ​​the Catalan giant, finalized the signing of De Jong with AJax for 65 million pounds on Wednesday. The Dutch international, 21, will visit Camp Nou this summer.

The midfielder was one of the most sought-after talents in Europe and sparked the interest of two Premier League champions, City and PSG, holders of the Ligue 1 title.

And after his move to Barcelona was confirmed, De Jong explained how his negotiations with the two clubs had unfolded, revealing that he had spoken to City Manager Pep Guardiola.

"I spoke to PSG, yes," said De Jong to NOS. "I called Maxwell to tell him that I was not going to join them and my agent informed PSG.

"I've also talked with Guardiola about a move to Man City.The clubs are all trying to convince you when they want you.I'm happy and proud to have done so much to have you." .

"Barcelona wants me for a long time, they already tried to sign me last year.But they also have their financial situation, they can not just spend a lot of money.

De Jong will become the last of a long line of talented players to make the trip from Amsterdam to Barcelona when he will leave Ajax at the end of the season.

Johan Cruyff, Ronald Koeman, Patrick Kluivert, Frank de Boer and Luis Suarez all excelled in both clubs.

"Barcelona has always been a dream club for me," continued De Jong. "The fact that they really want to find me and that I have a good chance of getting some playing time has made the decision a little easier.

"I had already watched Barcelona as a child and then, when I was a bit more aware of the game, we had the Guardiola era with all its success, which turned me into an even bigger fan. I liked the whole team. "
