Manchester City learn club-record Frenkie de Jong asking price

Manchester City will have to pay a club-record £75million in the upcoming bidding war with Barcelona for the new Johan Cruyff. Premier League champions City have made Holland and Ajax star Frenkie de Jong their top transfer target after scouring the world for a top central midfielder. However, Spanish champions Barca are also very keen on De Jong, and several other top clubs are monitoring the rapid progress he's making this season. Amsterdam-based Ajax feel they can demand up to £75m for De Jong because of this growing interest in him which means that City will have to pay club-record fee to purchase him. De Jong is under contract with Ajax until June 2022.
