Frenkie de Jong has made it clear he is happy to feature in defence when the situation requires it, but he does not see himself emulate his boss Ronald Koeman and become a mainstay at Barcelona at centre-back.
The Netherlands international was one of the driving forces behind Barcelona's resurgence this season with a string of impressive performances from midfield, only to then be moved to centre-back due to a number of injuries in defence.
De Jong has continued to do well even while playing out of position and his confident displays on the ball have earned him comparisons to Koeman, who made a name for himself at Camp Nou in the 1990s as one of the best ball-playing defenders around in the game.
