Those at Ajax are pleased that Frenkie de Jong opted to join Barcelona over Paris Saint-Germain, despite the Dutchman having grown increasingly clear that his next club would be the Parisians.
De Jong had told his teammates he would join PSG, but a sudden turn arrived when the Catalans' representatives made an express trip to Amsterdam.
The player was applauded by his teammates when it was announced his move to Barcelona had been finalised, with the rest of the players knowing it was his dream since he was young.
Now, his dream has come true and with Rafael van der Vaart comparing him to Guti when he spoke to MARCA, those who attend the Camp Nou have a lot to be excited about.
During Wednesday's training session, he received the warmth and love of his Ajax family who all believe Barcelona is the club that suits De Jong's characteristics the best.
At an institutional level, too, the Amsterdam side are happy with the numbers, receiving 75 million euros, along with 11m in variables.

his talent would have wasted in ligue 1 if he had joined psg....a player stops growing once he stops getting good challenges...like what is happening with neymar I don't see him as a improved player from what we was when he was at Barca....happy to see de Jong come to la liga but partly sad too bcoz he joined our rivals Barca... still I wish u good luck and have a great career.
