Matthijs De Ligt remains coy about his future amid Manchester United and Barcelona links
Matthijs De Ligt is one of the brightest young prospects in a star-studded Ajax team and has been turning heads in Europe with consistent showings of maturity and sure-headedness. He has for long been tipped for a move to Barcelona in the summer. However, the Dutchman has said that he has not reached an agreement with any club despite several reports claiming that he has.
De Ligt, however, admitted that talks have been held about his future. He said,
"I don't know yet. There have been conversations, but there is still no agreement,"
With Ajax's Sporting Director Edwin Van der Sar conceding that the 19-year-old is likely to depart in the summer, Manchester United are said to be keen on signing the centre-back to solve their defensive problems. However, a move to Barcelona looks like the most likely outcome.
Edwin Van der Sar had earlier admitted,
"I think these will be de Ligt's final games with Ajax, but I hope he goes out on a high,"
He also said that there's a chance that De Ligt might end up in England.
"He's been here since he was a child and will end up at a big club. I think he'll go to England or Spain."
