The Dutch centre-back burst into the spotlight a couple of seasons ago after his exceptional performances. He won the Golden Ball for his performances in the 2017/18 season and with the captain's armband, he was even better in 2019.

De Ligt did not only defended well, but he also proved to be a crucial set-piece threat and scored against Juventus and Tottenham in the UCL knockout stages.

The current situation of the 19-year-old tells us that he won't be at Ajax next season. But where does he go? Barcelona is his wish it seems and reports did suggest that the club is interested in him. However, his agent Mino Raiola is a major factor in the transfer as he is known to be a ruthless negotiator.

Juventus, Manchester United, and Barcelona are set to battle it out for the Ajax captain, and the price won't be any less. Raiola is known to get his agents a hefty salary and Ajax would require a price, ranging from €80-100 million.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up as his roles are pretty clear. He will be a starter for sure in England, plays important games in Italy, but he will only be a squad player at Barcelona.

So, can you decipher where this lad goes?
