DBasia.news – Ajax Amsterdam was one of the big surprises this season. Not only competing for the Eredivisie title, Ajax also eliminated Juventus in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
This of course makes a number of mainstay players begin to be glimpsed by a number of top European clubs, besides Frenkie de Jong who is certain to leave for Barcelona, now it is the team captain’s turn, Matthijs de Ligt who also continues to be claimed to be close to Camp Nou.
As if hot with all the speculations regarding his future, De Ligt again opened his voice and confirmed that he had not at all wanted to think about the opportunity to leave the Johan Cruijff Arena.
“Announcement? There is nothing to announce. I have not signed a contract with any team. At the moment Ajax has just made it to the Champions League semifinals and we are also at the top of the Eredivisie. That is currently the main focus,” stressed De Ligt as reported by Calciomercato.
De Ligt’s performance this season was quite consistent, he became a solid wall of Ajax back line and had appeared in a total of 48 matches with a score of five goals and three assists.
Ajax seems to be one of the clubs that will be busy releasing or maintaining a number of star players in the summer. Besides De Ligt and De Jong, the other two players, Nicolas Tagliafico and Donny van de Beek, also have the potential to leave.
