Eric Abidal Says Barcelona Waiting on Frenkie De Jong Transfer Decision

Barcelona will wait for Frenkie de Jong to choose his next club, according to Eric Abidal, after the sporting director revealed the Blaugrana are interested in the Ajax star.

Abidal talked about the choice facing the much-sought after 21-year-old, per Sky Sports: "This question has to be asked to the player. He knows there is interest from many clubs and he will make his decision. We can only wait, like everyone else."

De Jong has been linked with a long queue of suitors recently. Among them, Premier League champions Manchester City and Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain are said to be vying for his signature, according to Metro's Sean Kearns.
