“I would really like to see Christian at a major European club, to see how that goes. He can play at any big club that would be no problem. You should not be worried that clubs like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Real Madrid would not count on him. It is only important he
chooses the right club”, Overmars concluded.
