The Dutch midfielder told SPORT that he'd love to play alongside PSG's Neymar, who has been linked with a return to Barça

Would you like to play alongside Neymar?

"Of course I would like to play with Neymar. I think he's a really good player but it isn't up to me to decide if he comes to Barcelona or not."

What does it mean to play in the same team as Leo Messi?

"I think he's the best player in the world. I'm looking forward to playing with all the guys (at Barcelona), not only with Messi."

Are you disappointed that de Ligt decided to join Juventus?

No, I'm not disappointed. Not at all. Of course, I'd be happier if he had decided to join Barcelona. But it's his decision and he made to make it with his family, his agent and girlfriend. I'm happy for him. He's made a great move. I would rather see him at Barcelona but Juventus is a good move for him."

When you eliminated Real Madrid from the Champions League, did get any message from Barça?

After the game, the president (Bartomeu) called me right away and congratulated me on the win. We were happy to move onto the quarter-finals but it was a plus to knock out Real Madrid."

What does Johan Cruyff mean to you?

"I think that Cruyff had an amazing impact on football, especially at Ajax and Barcelona. I think he was one of the best in history. No player had so much impact on the game technically, so he's a very special person."

What have they told you about Johan's time at Barcelona?

"A lot of people told me about him. His attitude was really good for the game but the stories I've heard about him are amazing."
