Barcelona captain Lionel Messi will "fall in love" with the club's latest signing Frenkie de Jong, according to Ronald de Boer.
The former Barcelona and Ajax man now works with the Dutch side in their youth academy and spoke about the highly-rated 21-year-old in an interview with Cadena SER (h/t Sport's Nil Congost).
"De Jong has Ajax DNA which is nearly the same as Barcelona DNA, he is intelligent, he always has good ideas, he never plays without thinking. Messi will fall in love with De Jong.
"He's a different player and is not afraid of dribbling and waiting for the opportune moment to give the ball.
