Barcelona’s Last Attempt in Recruiting Matthijs de Ligt

DBasia.news –  Barcelona haven’t given up to fight for Matthijs de Ligt. According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona will bid higher than Juventus to Ajax Amsterdam, De Ligt’s club.

Juventus almost certainly landed Matthijs de Ligt in the 2019 summer transfer market. I Bianconeri won the competition with Barcelona and PSG.

Matthijs de Ligt became a hot property in the 2019 summer transfer market. His good performance with Ajax over the past few seasons were the reason.

In addition, Matthijs de Ligt has also held Ajax’s captain’s armband even though he is only 19 years old. De Ligt became a pillar in the Dutch national team’s back line with Virgil van Dijk.

Juventus won the hunt for Matthijs de Ligt after reaching a personal agreement with the player and his agent. La Vecchia Signora also offered the price requested by Ajax.

Even so, apparently Barcelona are still curious about the opportunity to bring Matthijs de Ligt. The Spanish champions wanted De Ligt to fill the post on the team defense.

Barcelona president, Josep Bartomeu, contacted Matthijs de Ligt to meet. However, De Ligt asked his agent, Mino Raiola, to attend the meeting.

Unfortunately Mino Raiola said Barcelona could only get Matthijs de Ligt if he offered a minimum bid to match Juventus. Both in terms of transfers and salary.

Barcelona may object to Mino Raiola’s request. Meanwhile, Matthijs de Ligt is rumored to be leaving for Turin to undergo a medical test with Juventus.
