One name is certain to leave next season. Since last January, Frenkie De Jong has agreed to join the LaLiga giant, Barcelona. The 21-year-old player agreed to join Blaugrana with a tag of 75 million euros.

Besides De Jong, another name that was widely reported to be moving was the team captain, Matthijs de Ligt. The 19-year-old player became one of the inspirational games of the capital city team throughout the tournament. Barcelona is also reportedly interested in him.

Former Head of the Ajax Youth Development Department, Ruben Jongkind, already had a feeling about this.
