Barcelona are considering one final push for Ajax midfielder Frenkie De Jong before the transfer window closes on August 31, reports Sport.

The La Liga champions have been heavily linked with the exciting 21-year-old, although it would take a fee in excess of £50 million (Dhs 234 million) for a deal to go through.

The Dutch U21 star started 25 times for the Eredivisie side last term, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process. Ernesto Valverde is reportedly keen to sign De Jong as he looks to bolster his midfield ahead of next season.

De Jong, who still has four years remaining on his contract, has also been monitored by Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea.
