Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong will join Barcelona at the end of the season and hopes to sign off with a clean sweep of major honours.
Asked for his best memory at Ajax in an interview with the club's official podcast, De Jong replied: "Hopefully it's yet to come – when we win the next six games, we win the treble. It could be.
"We made it this far in the Champions League for a reason. In the Eredivisie we're on top and we're in the cup final. I'm not sure we'll win all prizes, but it sure is possible."
Despite accounting for a pair of European heavyweights in the previous round, Tottenham's Premier League pedigree means De Jong does not believe he and his team-mates can be considered favourites in the semi-final.
"I don't think we are the favourites. They play in the Premier League and do it very well," the 21-year-old said. On paper we aren't better than them, but also not much worse. It doesn't matter who's the favourite, as long as we make it to the next round."
As Barcelona prepare to take on Liverpool in this week's second semi-final, De Jong knows his final game for Ajax could be a dream encounter against his future employers.
"I'll go there with a lot of enthusiasm," he said of the Barcelona transfer. "I'm very excited and have to make sure that I train well and play well. Hopefully I quickly become a first-XI player."

i hope his impending transfer does not cloud his judgement...he has been a class act so far...it is indeed refreshing to see a team of underdogs overcome huge obstacles and move forward...great things will be expected from them in the future and something tells me they will not dissapoint....wish them all the best

De Jong is a talented player and may go on to be a Barca legend , he has outshine players and has shown his talent, though he wants to win something with Ajax, and I respect his attitude, I hope Ajax wins their league and cup title, and I hope Ajax and Barca face off in the final. Good Luck De Jong, hope you have a memory to remember in Ajax.

Ajax and Barcelona have pretty same style of playing football. De Jong will be will prove very beneficial for Barca also if he is accompanied by his partner in crime De Ligt they would be unstoppable. I hope to see Barca vs Ajax in Final. It would be a match of pure football. I would be rejoiced if either of team wins treble. Barca Da Forca
