Real Madrid have entered the race to sign Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong but the Dutchman favours a move to Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo. Ajax rejected offers this summer from Tottenham and Barca and convinced De Jong to spend one more season in Amsterdam.
The Catalans have made him a priority signing for 2019 but De Jong's price-tag could now soar past the £50m mark.
