Justin Kluivert would 'love' Barcelona move, says father Patrick
Justin Kluivert's career ambition is to "one day" earn a move to Barcelona, according to his father and ex-Barca player Patrick.
Former Barcelona forward Patrick Kluivert says son and Roma winger Justin harbours an ambition to follow in his footsteps at Camp Nou.
Justin Kluivert, 19, swapped the Eredivisie for Serie A in June after emerging through Ajax's famed academy.

"He expressed in the press his goal is to play for Barcelona.
"He's fitting in quite well at AS Roma. He's in a young team with experienced and non-experienced players.
