Manchester eyeing Ajax ace

Manchester City are prepared to spend a fortune to sign Ajax midfielder Frenkie De Jong.

De Jong, 21, has forged a reputation as one of the most promising midfield talents in Europe since making his senior debut in May 2015.

He’s scored twice in 19 appearances for Ajax this campaign and his exploits have attracted attention from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But the Daily Mail claim City expect to beat their challengers with a £50million bid next summer.
