Liverpool Competes with Barca to Get De Ligt

DBasia.news –  After getting rid of Barcelona from the Champions League semifinals, Liverpool now have high trust in beating Barcelona back in getting Ajax Amsterdam captain, Matthijs de Ligt.

Ajax’s formidable defender is still the main target of Barca. But the La Liga club still has a lot to do before the transfer agreement is finalized.

The 19-year-old footballer was also linked to Bayern Munich, Juventus and Manchester United, but The Guardian stated that Liverpool also wanted De Ligt to be juxtaposed with his team-mate in the Dutch national team, Virgil van Dijk, in the Anfield defense sector.

Previously, the coach of the Ajax U-19 team, Ronald de Boer, suggested that de Ligt choose Liverpool.

“For me, the 19-year-old Ajax captain, is the person who is also next to Virgil Van Dijk on the national team, I mean he is very strong. Determined to be a winner. Extraordinary. He can play on each team. If he goes to a team that appears to attack or defend he can play on each team because he is very good, “De Boer said.
