After the signing of Frenkie of Jong, Ernesto Valverde launched a 'dart' to the trainers of other clubs that had contacted with the Dutch. Pep Guardiola was one of them, and recently have asked after him the words of his 'colleague'
The past week, the FC Barcelona announced the signing of Frenkie of Jong, that will dress of Barcelona from the next summer. The club culé paid an astronomical figure by the midfield player -75 million euros of fixed part more other 11 in concept of variable- since the Ajax had received a lot of offers of important clubs.
Some of these clubs were Paris Saint-Germain of Thomas Tuchel and the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola. Of Jong recognised that it had kept telephone contact so much with the German trainer as with the ex Barcelona technician. Ernesto Valverde, when being asked after this, launched a dart to both technicians.
"Perhaps if speeches with a player with agreement with another team... This can not do, can not speak with a player that has agreement. Recognise that you have done this... It is not in my code. I do not have at all that say, each one has his form to act", said the Txingurri, that did not seem to be happy with the attempts of his two mates of profession.
In a recent press conference, Guardiola was asked precisely by the words of Valverde on his supposed calls to Of Jong. The Catalan did not want to throw firewood to the fire and denied problems with the trainer culé. "I do not go to answer to Ernesto. It is my fellow. It is not our footballer and it is necessary to accept that sometimes they come and others no", commented.
Valverde Gives the seen well to the signing of Of Jong
In a press conference of the past week, Ernesto Valverde commented the signing of Frenkie of Jong, of the that feels satisfied. "It is a signing ilusionante for the club, with perspective of present and future. It is a big player, with an important future by in front. We wish him the best because his successes will be the ones of the club. It is a big signing, a big attainment", sentenced.
Curiously, it knows that Of Jong will form part of the team the next season, but does not know if the own Valverde will decide to be still in the bench of the Camp Nou. If it does it, will have to the mediocentro Dutch to his disposal in his third campaign like technician culé, something that can suppose an incentive more.
