Man City target Frenkie de Jong snubs Pep Guardiola and ‘chooses’ £67m summer switch to PSG
FRENKIE DE JONG is set to snub Pep Guardiola and Manchester City by making a £67million move to Paris Saint-Germain next summer.
The Dutch prodigy, 21, has been attracting interest from all over Europe after stellar displays for Ajax.
Ajax director of football Marc Overmars has slapped a £67m price tag on De Jong's head and the former Arsenal winger confirmed a PSG delegation had met with the Dutch club.
World Cup winner Mbappe remains one of De Jong's biggest admirers and has urged boss Thomas Tuchel to push the board to sign the playmaker.
Virgil van Dijk remains the most costly Dutchman of all time, after making his £75m switch from Southampton to Liverpool 11 months ago.
"It's difficult to say what will happen.
"I want to finish this season well with Ajax. Then we will see.
"Maybe I'll stay for another year, maybe I'll leave. I'm not sure."
De Jong becomes the latest in a long line of top players to ditch Ajax in favour of more lucrative deals elsewhere.
And ever since their Champions League triumph in 1995, the Amsterdam outfit have long been known as Europe's premier selling club.
His team-mate Matthijs de Ligt, 19, has also been tipped for a big-money move abroad, possibly to the Premier League.
Ajax are undefeated in 14 matches in all competitions, and are currently second in the Eredivisie, two points behind leaders PSV Eindhoven, who were the last team to beat them.
