The 22-year-old midfielder joined Barcelona from Ajax on a five-year contract for €75m (£65.3m) during last summer. He has made 37 appearances for the club in all competitions and has impressed in his first season at the Catalan club.

The midfielder is currently back in Amsterdam during the coronavirus outbreak where he took part in a live video chat with the Barcelona website on Monday.
