FC Barcelona Unveil New Player Frenkie de Jong

One of the revelations in European football last season, Frenkie de Jong played a huge part in Ajax’s successful 2018/19 campaign. He led Ajax to the Eredivisie title and also to the semi-finals of UEFA Champions League. Barcelona wasted no time and signed him for €75 million.

The 22-year-old is a versatile midfielder with an excellent reading of the game and ability to provide the killer pass. He has a wide range of passing and possesses a wonderful vision. He averaged more than 2 tackles per game in all competitions last season and has a passing accuracy of more than 90%.

He has also scored three goals and created three more in Eredivisie. He could be a perfect foil to Sergio Busquets in the middle of the park for Barcelona. After his brilliant campaign for Ajax, de Jong’s market value increased by €78 million to €85 million.

Market Value as of July 1, 2018: €7 million

Market Value as of now: €85 million
