Frenkie De Jong picks PSG over Barcelona

Today's big news involving Barcelona comes from De Telegraaf who claim that Frenkie De Jong has decided to join PSG. The Ajax star was slapped with a €75 million price tag and it was met by both the PSG and Barcelona.

However, the midfielder has decided that he wants to move to the Ligue 1 side and has snubbed interest from the Catalan club. PSG are desperate to sign a replacement for Adrien Rabiot, who is reportedly on the verge of joining Barcelona on a free transfer.

De Jong was linked with PSG last month as well but he had rebuffed the reports that claimed he had a deal agreed with the Ligue 1 side. His father too was keen on the midfielder moving to Camp Nou but the French side's project has attracted him to them.
