Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong has offered some transfer encouragement to Real Madrid.

Sport says De Jong is a Barcelona target.

The Dutchman is seen as an ideal long-term replacement for Sergio Busquets and he is one of the most in-demand players in Europe.

De Jong will cost around 80 million euros and the competition for him is fierce.

And to heat up the market, he's given out some 'likes' to Real Madrid's official Instagram account.
