Rumours that verbal agreement reached with Timber. Fee negotiation with Ajax within the region of £30m.

PSG has decided De Jong is worth a look and they're having a sniff around - speaking to Barcelona.

Though we've contacted both the player and club - UCL is a priority for De Jong while Barcelona (Xavi) see him as important though a sumptuous offer could whet their appetite.

Oh, City and Bayern giving him approving glances.

Can't understand the obsession with the UCL, Europa is where all the coolest clubs hang out, plus the final is in Budapest this year which is like the best party town ever.

Can't understand the obsession with De Jong I don't think he is that good.

I think he is a product of the Ajax system and is suited to that system in a team full of players versed in that system.

Is there any substance in these Timber rumors? I don’t think Ed has even mentioned us honestly and I haven’t seen a single report in England of substance.
