Sneijder chose Messi’s successor in Barcelona: “When Leo is not there, the leader will be De Jong”

The Dutchman praised his compatriot and got into the future of Lautaro Martínez: “Let him stay at Inter and then go to Real Madrid.”

Someday it will happen that Lionel Messi will not play for Barcelona anymore. But even if the most pessimistic of the Catalans do not want to think at that time, in the club they know that when Leo decides to stop wearing Blaugrana (either because he retires or to play elsewhere) someone must inherit his role on the field of play . And while there are not a few who put that illusion on the backs of Ansu Fati, Wesley Sneijder believes that the future leader of Barça will be his compatriot Frenkie De Jong.

“When Messi is done with football, Frenkie will become even more of a leader. He did very well in choosing Barcelona, ​​it is a club that adapts very well to his game,” said the 36-year-old former midfielder, speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

In the same sense, Sneijder compared the choice of the midfielder with that of his former teammate Matthijs De Ligt, who preferred to join Juventus rather than joining LaLiga: “De Ligt chose differently, but Frenkie made a perfect decision for his life. I think that his choice was looking to the future. “

On the other hand, ex Inter and Real Madrid also gave their opinion on the possible transfer of Lautaro Martínez to Barcelona and joined the long list of personalities who publicly advised the Argentine on what to do with his future: “I don’t like Barcelona I played for Real Madrid. Winning at Inter is a unique feeling, I did it and I want him to do it before he leaves. He is a physically and mentally strong footballer, I recommend that he try to play for Real Madrid, but only after stay many years at Inter. “
