Barcelona chief Kluivert: De Ligt regrets Juventus move

Barcelona youth chief Patrick Kluivert believes Matthijs de Ligt is regretting his move to Júventus.

The former Ajax captain chose Juve over Barca when leaving Amsterdam last summer.

Kluivert, who won the Champions League with Ajax, told Mundo Deportivo: "I didn't personally try to convince him about joining Barcelona.

“I only told him about the positive aspects of Barcelona as a club and city.

“We are obviously talking about a great defender and in the end he made a choice. I think he slightly regrets it now, but that's the way it is.

“In life, you must make choices, sometimes good ones and sometimes bad. You have to learn from your decisions."
