For Luuk de Jong Deadline Day became a day to remember. In the nick of time, the 31-year-old striker made a dream transfer to FC Barcelona. It was also a special day for father George de Jong. He thought twelve hours before the end of the summer transfer window that the transfer would fall into the water.
The high-profile transfer gained momentum on the final day of the transfer market. "There had been contact for a while, we knew it was going on. But of course we had to deal with Barca's financial situation, what was and was not possible," George de Jong tells Omroep Brabant. "We thought: he won't do that anymore. Then Luuk texted me that I had to pick up the phone. He was called, at five o'clock everything was really set in motion. Then it was still exciting until midnight."
In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, Barcelona announced the arrival of De Jong to the world. At that time, however, the transfer was still not complete. "Barcelona and Sevilla submitted everything before 12 noon, but then it became quiet. Even when we woke up at about seven, there was not a hundred percent green light. It was everywhere, but the confirmation was not there yet. everything one hundred percent round."
Now that all formalities have been completed, De Jong can be admired at Camp Nou for at least one season. "For Luuk it is always the club he dreamed of, but he never thought he would end up there again."
