Barcelona midfielder De Jong shuts down Man Utd, Chelsea talk

Frenkie de Jong has again pledged his future to Barcelona.

The Holland midfielder continues to be linked with Manchester United and Chelsea.

But ahead of Sunday's clash with Real Madrid, he told TV3: "Hopefully I can play in the new Camp Nou. Barcelona has always been the club of my dreams and I want to stay here for many years.

"For me, the Camp Nou is the most beautiful stadium in the world. The plans for the stadium are very good. To continue here for many years. Barca is the team of my dreams."

"Playing in a Clasico is a very difficult feeling to explain. When I was a child, I dreamed of doing it with Barca and now I can do it. It's a very important game for the fans and also for the players, a game that can decide a league."
