Manchester City, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are all battling it out to sign Ajax's £70million wonderkid Frenkie de Jong.
The European giants are all keen on acquiring the services of the 21-year-old with Barcelona and PSG willing to offer a better salary than the Premier League side, according to The Mirror.
Sportsmail revealed earlier this week that Pep Guardiola has ruled out making any signings next month but a central midfielder is at the top of his agenda for next summer.
Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars suggested on Wednesday Barcelona are favourites to land him and De Jong is known to possess a desire to one day play in Spain.
