The signing that all the teams want to make

Frenkie de Jong's explosion and his good performances at the end of last season started to justify Barcelona's signing of the former Ajax footballer.

The operation would have been quite risky for the economic amount, but both the performance of the Dutch with Ajax, and the elimination of Real Madrid by the Dutchman, made Barcelona forget the midfielder's price.

Maybe that's why De Jong came with the wind facing Barcelona. But it does not stop there, the versatile footballer is determined to integrate into a club with a history as great as Barcelona's.

'AS' confirms his willingness to learn Spanish, his closeness to the fans ... and how Valverde is betting decidedly on him.

De Jong has played everything, with the exception of only one time when he was on the bench, and has been the main reason why Ivan Rakitic could leave the club.

Alhtough more is always expected of him, he has always shown positive signs. He barely misses a pass and just needs to believe in himself more and start contributing more frequently in attack.

Against Celta, the midfielder received the 3-1 foul in a good incorporation to the attack. But he has only scored one goal and has given an assist so far in the campaign, hence the expectation of a more prominent role.

In any case, the player has fallen to his feet at the Camp Nou and Barca will not miss the opportunity to build a promising future in relation to the player. They see him as one of the great stars of the post-Messi era and will try to exploit him to the fullest.
