Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana says he hopes Matthijs de Ligt follows Frenkie de Jong to Barcelona.

The Cameroon international left Barcelona for Ajax in 2015 and knows the two players well, and he reckons they’d love to keep playing together.

“I hope that De Ligt goes to Barca too, they are great friends and they would love it. I spoke about it with them.”

“De Jong is very happy at going to Barca, two months ago I told him to go to Barca.”

Confirmation of De Jong’s future means speculation over De Ligt’s future is likely to increase over the remainder of the season.

He’s already been linked with a host of top clubs, including Barcelona, although it remains to be seen if the champions have the finances available to spend big again.
