#1 Paris Saint Germain
Before his Barca deal, Frenkie de Jong was one of the most sought players in the transfer market this winter. Another club that also put in a great effort to sign the 21-year-old from Ajax this January is Paris Saint-Germain.
The suspension handed out to midfielder Adrien Rabiot, coupled with a serious ankle injury sustained to Marco Verratti left the Parisians short of options in the middle of the pitch and they saw de Jong as a great option to fill in the void in that department.
The French champions intensified their pursuit of the Ajax midfielder at some point this winter, with rumors initially suggesting that they had reached an agreement with the youngster.
However, de Jong refused to move to the French capital, opting to join FC Barcelona instead and landing a massive blow to Thomas Tuchel's men.
