Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has been talked up as a potential target for the Spanish giants by his former teammate, but he remains focused on the Blues.
Mount's former Vitesse team-mate Mitchell van Bergen suggested that the Chelsea starlet could become a transfer target for Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Mount, though, claims to be fully focused on events in west London, telling reporters when quizzed on the Barca and Real talk: "I saw what Mitchell said.
"I'm obviously very close to him - we had a very close bond. He's a brilliant player. But my focus is on Chelsea and this is my first year, so I don't look too far ahead.
"My focus is on the next game, that's kind of how far I look ahead."
Van Bergen, who is now on the books at Heerenveen, has claimed that Mount boasts the potential to represent the biggest clubs in Europe.
He told Dutch media outlet NOS: "Mason is going to reach the absolute top.
"In the Premier League he will be a complete player and I will see him eventually ending up at FC Barcelona or Real Madrid. I think he will fit there."
