Barcelona Relaxed Over Frenkie de Jong Pursuit Despite Rumoured €70m Bid From Rival Suitor

Barcelona are reportedly relaxed about their chances of landing Ajax talent Frenkie de Jong at some point in the future, despite the emergence of rumours that a €70m bid from rival club has been submitted for the very highly rated Dutch international.

Barça are far from the only club linked with De Jong in recent months, with Manchester United, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Tottenham all supposedly tracking the player.

A report from Mundo Deportivo (MD) suggests that the Catalans believe Manchester City to be the club behind the €70m offer, as they are obviously well versed in the workings of City executives Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano.
