De Jong: I would have chosen Man City or PSG if I didn't go to Barcelona

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has said he would have moved to Manchester City or PSG this summer had he not chosen to join the Blaugrana.

The 22-year-old was in high demand after helping Ajax to an Eredivisie title and the semi-final of the Champions League last season.

De Jong has said that although he had many offers he ultimately chose to join Barcelona not for money, but because of their playing style and how they proved they valued him.
