The Catalan giants confirmed Wednesday the signing of their contract with the midfielder of Ajax for the amount of 65 million pounds. The contract should be concluded at the end of the season.
Barça eliminated the 21-year-old club, including City and PSG.
Van Persie thinks that his compatriot made the right decision. He follows the footsteps of the Dutch legend Johan Cruyff by trading Amsterdam against Catalonia.
"If I had the choice between Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Barcelona, I would make exactly that choice too," said Van Persie at the Dutch NOS point of sale.
"Barça is a magnificent club, it seems to me. He also plays in their own way, he is a smart player, technically talented, he sees the game very well and when he starts to play with guys like (Lionel) Messi and (Sergio) Busquets, he will become even better. "
Van Persie also believes that this big transaction is further evidence of the resumption of Dutch football, after the Netherlands failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2016.
"We see players coming to England, Liverpool and Manchester United, and now Frenkie is going to Barça," he said.
"We are in a good phase again. Oranje plays well again and takes advantage of everything, I would say. "
