Barca🔷 Made €30m Offer for Ajax's De Jong

Barcelona made an attempt to sign Ajax's Frenkie de Jong this summer, according to reports.

The Liga side made an offer of €30 million (£27m/$35m) for the 21-year-old and were willing to let him stay at Ajax on loan for another year.

Ajax held firm, however, and were not willing to let their prized prospect leave - even for a higher offer.

The Spanish side were hoping to avoid the inevitable bidding war for De Jong.

Premier League clubs Tottenham and Manchester City are also rumoured to be hot on the trail of the Dutch star, and Barcelona feel they are losing some of their financial might and could be left out in the cold if a bidding war over De Jong actually occurs.

Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain was the only player to push the South American close in the race, with the young French superstar having netted on 33 occasions for the Ligue 1 champions. Completing the top three was Fabio Quagliarella of Sampdoria, who found the net 26 times to finish as Serie A's leading scorer. Three players have dominated the Golden Shoe over the course of the last decade, with the usual suspects of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo joined by two-time winner Luis Suarez

Ibrahimovic rang up number 500 in style , his roundhouse kick pulling a goal back for a Galaxy side that still trailed by two goals even after his brilliant strike. The Galaxy did make a comeback, leveling matters briefly before Toronto FC netted twice in the final 15 minutes to take a 5-3 win on the night, leaving LA in need of some positive results to have any shot at a playoff place.
