Frenkie de Jong has revealed he may have joined one of Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester City had he not secured a move to Barcelona during the summer.
The Dutchman joined La Blaugrana from Ajax in a £68m move, but had been courted by a whole host of major clubs across Europe after some glittering displays in the Eredivisie last season.
Such was his fine form during the last campaign, the 22-year-old was recently chosen as part of the FIFA FIFPro Men's World XI, featuring alongside new teammate Lionel Messi and fellow Netherlands international Matthijs de Ligt.
