De Jong has no doubt that Van de Beek is good enough for Real Madrid

Barcelona new boy Frenkie de Jong believes Donny van de Beek is more than good enough to link up with Real Madrid, but would prefer not to see a former Ajax team-mate join him in Spain just yet.

The Netherlands international has already trodden the path from the Eredivisie to La Liga this summer.

De Jong agreed a big-money switch to Camp Nou in January, before seeing Matthijs de Ligt opt against following his lead by choosing to link up with Serie A champions Juventus.
