Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is sorry to see last season’s Ajax team being dismantled.
Donny van de Beek, a target for Real Madrid, would become the third big name player to leave Ajax this summer after De Jong joined Barça and Matthijs de Ligt signed for Juventus.
De Jong said that it’s sad to see such a young, successful team broken up, but that it’s part of football.
“I am really proud of the season we had and I am proud to see guys making big movements I think they all deserve it,” he said.
“But of course I feel a bit sad — not that I regret it, because I am really proud and happy to be [at Barcelona] — but of course it’s a bit sad that the team is breaking up.
“But you know that those things are going to happen when you have a season like that at a club like Ajax. It’s just the way it is.”
