Barcelona beat PSG to Frenkie de Jong - reports

There’s been a fresh update in the Frenkie de Jong transfer saga, and the latest reports suggest the midfielder has agreed to join Barcelona over Paris Saint-Germain.

According to Catalunya Radio, De Jong has informed both clubs of his decision and a delegation is expected in Amsterdam today to seal the deal.

Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reckons Barcelona will pay €90 million for the 21-year-old. PSG apparently dropped out after the bidding went over €75m.

PSG had been the favourites to sign De Jong in recent weeks, but the latest reports suggest a late push by Barcelona helped convince the midfielder to head to the Camp Nou.
