"The Catalan daily newspaper "Sport" claims that "Barcelona" has made the first official offer for Matthijs de Ligt. Recently, we reported that Turin's "Juventus" will start negotiations with Amsterdam's "Ajax" after the start of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, but "Barcelona" is determined to act faster and more effectively. According to the mentioned source, "Ajax" received an offer of 60 million euros. It is possible that the Amsterdam team will reject it, but that does not mean that "Barca" is not willing to pay more. The Catalans have also started negotiations for Frenkie de Jong. It is believed that the offer includes a sum of possible bonuses, but "Ajax" should not release their team captain for less than 75 million euros. Matthijs de Ligt himself prefers "Barcelona".
