Barcelona are now thrashing out terms with the agents of Ajax midfielder Nigel de Jong.

Mundo Deportivo says Barca have tabled a contract offer to De Jong, which has impressed the Dutchman and his family.

Ali Dursun, De Jong's agent, was in Spain on December 13 to meet with Barca directors.

The Catalans would prefer to wait before signing De Jong at the end of this season.

The offer tabled pleased the player and he is expected to deliver his response in the coming weeks.
