Barça are close to signing Arcelor Vidal of Chile during the summer transfer period.
The Spanish newspaper "Sport" on Friday, that the contract with Vidal, 31, will not close the door against the Dutchman Frankie de Young, Ajax Amsterdam.
De Jong is the main goal of the Catalan club, which is part of the team's future plan, but Ajax's commitment to his services has prompted Barcelona to consider temporary alternatives until it is signed.
She said that in Barcelona, there is a conviction that De Young will end up in the Bulograna now or later as the club is so well controlled that the player only wants to go to Barcelona in the future despite the performances he receives.
She added that Barcelona did not want to pressure the Dutch club to contract the 19-year-old but would try to reach a tripartite agreement to secure the signing of the player next summer.
She noted that Ajax welcomed the negotiations on the sale of the player next summer, provided that Barcelona leaves him calm during the current season.
