Frenkie de Jong

He did an interview not so long ago (2019) saying he joined La Liga because he thought it was the best in the world but admitted the Premier League had overtaken it.

A bit unrelated, but I have been saying this in the Haaland thread every time people used to say he would go to Madrid or PSG. No. It’s almost inevitable that players of this stature all want to come to the PL. FdJ just another

I do think the so-called prestige of playing for Real Madrid is still there, that's why they attract the best players consistently and you have somebody like Mbappe zoned in on going there and not entertaining anybody else in the meantime.

I agree with PSG, though. I'm sure the top players would prefer to play in England than in France and the only real attraction(s) of going there are (supposedly) pissing it domestically each year, money and playing with Messi/Neymar.

While we have Pep we have an edge IMO when you add the fact we will pay good money and guarantee titles on top of it for years to come given the age of the squad.

To think, FDJ could've been here in 2019 and won 2 leagues by now, a few domestic cups and been in a Champions League final instead of getting spanked by Bayern year on year.
