DBasia.news – Ajax Amsterdam players are selling well in the transfer market. That all happened because of their success playing consistently throughout this season in the Champions League and Eredivisie.
Inevitably, several mainstay players also began to be glanced at by some of Europe’s top clubs, one of which was, of course, a tough defender and team captain, Matthijs de Ligt. This season the 19-year-old was truly irreplaceable in defense and has appeared in 53 matches with a collection of seven goals and four assists.
Juventus, Liverpool, and Barcelona are rumored to be the three clubs that are serious about bringing him in, but it looks like the last club is the most likely to get the player’s signature. Even De Ligt’s mother also mentions if Barca is one of the great clubs in the world.
“Yes, De Ligt will take a big decision in his life, but I do not want to interfere. It is his life,” Vivian said as reported by Sport English.
“Will Barcelona be the next destination for De Ligt? I think Barcelona is a great club,” he added.
The opportunity for the Blaugrana to bring in players who are positioned as center backs seems to be quite open, because the director of Ajax football, Edwin van der Sar, also predicts that De Ligt has the potential to continue his career in Spain or England.
If in the end, De Ligt anchored to Camp Nou, then he would also follow in the footsteps of his teammate, Frenkie de Jong, who had already decided to continue his career with Barca.
