Ajax mock Barca's failed De Jong signing

Ajax have published a video on their social network sites entitled 'Meanwhile, in Amsterdam...', wherein Mark Overmars, the Dutch club's Technical Secretary, sits bored in his office, in the dark. 

With the time reaching midnight, Overmars picks up his mobile phone to see a large anount of missed calls from some of Europe's biggest clubs including PSG, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona. 

The Technical Secretary selects a call from Barcelona, dated August, when the market was still open, and deletes it before leaving the office.

This shows Ajax's sense of humour, with the joke playing homage to Ajax not listening to offers from Barcelona as they were unsuccessful in signing Frenkie De Jong this summer. However, the 'Culés' are already thinking about trying to bring in the player in January's transfer window.
