De Jong Comments on Xavi Talks, Barca Exit

De Jong  commented on Saturday on Xavi talks and his possible exit from Barcelona .

"I have enough confidence in myself [to be a success at Barcelona]. I am not afraid. I recently spoke extensively with the trainer [Xavi]. That was a very good conversation," he said.

"I will not go into that [the links to United]. Not even about other names or clubs. I used to be naive and open-minded about it. I don’t do that anymore. I understand that that link is made. That sum is not that difficult, it is logical. I have enjoyed working with Ten Hag at Ajax – and I can’t look into the future, of course. But I prefer to stay at Barcelona.

"That has always been my dream club and it still is. As long as I don’t hear from the club management, I assume nothing is going on."
