He is clever enough. He probably does that somewhere in the spring," the midfiedler's father told Voetbal Primeur."It's 95 percent certain that he leaves. What would suit him best is a team that plays football, and all the clubs that are interested are footballing teams." While his family are trying to nudge him towards Camp Nou, De Jong has made it clear that no decision has been taken on his future.He told Fox Sports: "I have not made a decision yet and Ajax have not reached an agreement yet with with any club. "I don't know yet what I will do at the end of the season, whether I will stay for an extra year or if I will join another club - and if so, which club that will be."Everything is still possible and there is no final decision yet. There are several interested clubs, Ajax are also speaking to a number of clubs and so is my agent. "I am not going to mention any names, though. That is not up to me. We have permission from Ajax to speak to other clubs, they are aware of it."Everything is still an option and we will see what happens. I can't say much about whether I spoke to (Pep) Guardiola. "I am not ruling out the Premier League or any other potential destination."</blockquote>
