Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt has fuelled speculation he could join Frenkie de Jong at Barcelona next season with his latest comments.
The centre-back spoke about his team-mate after picking up a player of the season award from Dutch football website Voetbal Primeur.
De Ligt says De Jong got his vote in the awards and would like to keep on playing with his team-mate who will join Barcelona on July 1.
“I think I voted for Frenkie. I think he has developed very well this year. He deserves the move to FC Barcelona.
