Madrid's "Atletico" has joined other European giants in the race to sign Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt.
The 19-year-old center-back is considered the best young defender on the planet. Ajax is already resigned to the fact that they will have to find a new player to replace M. de Ligt after the season.
Clubs like Barcelona, Turin's Juventus, Munich's Bayern and others are interested in his services.
Atletico also promises to try their luck, and for the Dutchman himself, this would not be a bad choice either. It is almost certain that after the season, "rojiblancos" will lose Diego Godin and Lucas Hernandez, so M. de Ligt would immediately play an important role in the team.
Elsewhere, M. de Ligt would not receive such guarantees, but the player himself is more inclined to accept Barcelona's offer, where his teammate Frenkie de Jong will also play next season.
M. de Ligt is valued at around 75 million euros.
