Mathijs de Ligt to Bayern Munich

Forgot barcelona still have Vermalen on payroll lmao

Barca sign an unreal amount of CBs, it makes sense for them to sign this one.

Just checked and in the last 2 seasons they've signed

Lenglet
Murillo
Todibo
Yerry Mina
Marlon

I forgot about they signed some scrub lord named Marlon.

I forgot Vermaelen existed

and Yerry Mina (flashbacks to the strong rumours about us signing him for 40M during the WC ffs)

and Murillo

and Umtiti until the other day

yeah, I don't see them signing de Ligt

IDK about Juve too, I don't see you dropping 60M on him either, maybe if you can raise funds by selling Rugani etc, yeah

not sure where this kid ends up, bet it's City ffs

Maybe he should stay at Ajax for a bit more years. He's just 19, a lil 2 to 3 more years at Ajax would probably be the best option imho.

Probably because they keep signing bad ones lol.

I think he should too but this is football, he's gonna be on ppls radars already, especially if Ajax win the CL, teams wanting to get in there before his price doubles

could see a City buying him and loaning him back for 18 months

It's obvious Barca want him lol, every single reporter worth anything has already confirmed it for months now.

No point wasting your time with theories based on past activity, the information is already out there.

Hell the Ajax manager himself confirmed their interest lol.

Barca wants him but I feel Barca doesn't wanna spend much on him i.e being a bit cheap.

Well that's different obviously.

I.e. he's going to join Man United despite having a far greater option in Barcelona

Except Raiola is not the client, according to most sources.

De Ligt is the first one to want hugely Barcelona, it is going to happen surely

have to feel sorry for the ajax fans. every time they put a good young team together it gets plundered the next season.

It's not great but we're still going to win the treble this season so.. not really a time to feel sorry for us

Ajax's Dutch centre-back Matthijs de Ligt has rejected a move to Manchester United worth £60m. (Source: Daily Star)

So you're telling me, the most sought after talent in the world who could pick whichever club he wants is NOT going to a 6th placed Europa League team with Molde and Cardiff legend coach at the wheel? DAYUM, what shock news!

daily star

less credible than me

Whether it's Daily Star or Di Marzio , no elite talent in their right minds would want to join your 6th place hell. Especially when we are speaking about the Mbappè of CB's in this case.

So no need to get rustled, boy and pretend that you actually stand a chance here. Take it from me, you would be well served instead focusing on the Ben Chillwell's and the Harry Maguire's of the world.

Man United need to get realistic for once and focus on gettable players who would improve their squad.

According to RAI Sport, Marc Overmas told his opposite number at Juventus, Fabio Paratici, that the Dutch defender is close to signing a contract with FC Barcelona. In the same meeting, according to 'Calciomercato', Ajax revealed the deal for de Ligt will be worth around €80m.

This meeting took place when Ajax and Juventus clashed in the quarter finals of the Champions League.

This has been known for a while tbh, there's a reason the manager himself said he would go there lol.

The only real question mark is if Barca get cheap.

Matthijs De Ligt will become a Barcelona player this summer. The official announcement is a matter of days away. (Source: Catalan Radio)

United's scouting department is fire

With Kompany set to leave City, it makes sense for De Ligt to consider the City option now. He will still have to fight Stones for a starting spot but it is a better option than going to Barcelona to battle Umtiti, Lenglet, Piqué and Todibo.

Wut? No Barca fan even knows who Todibo is. Pique is done within the next 12 months and Umtiti's knee is also done.
