Frenkie de Jong has admitted he is very excited to train alongside and watch Lionel Messi ahead of his move to Barcelona.
The Ajax midfielder agreed a move to the La Liga giants back in January and will complete the £65m move on 1 July on a five-year contract running until the end of the 2023/24 season.
With the prospect of training among some of the world's best players, most notably Lionel Messi, De Jong revealed it is the legendary Argentine he is particularly looking forward to lining up alongside.
"I'm very excited to see [Lionel] Messi during training, I think I'm only going to pass the ball to him," he said, as quoted by Marca.
