Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong has said Barcelona have encouraged him to do what he can to eliminate Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.
It has been confirmed that the Dutch playmaker will make the switch to the La Liga side at the end of the campaign for an initial fee in the region of £65 million.
Until the end of the term, De Jong will be doing all he can to help Ajax domestically and in Europe. They visit Real Madrid on Tuesday for the second leg of their last-16 showdown in the European Cup, having lost the first clash 2-1 in Amsterdam.
