The prospective Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt will not play for Barcelona next season.
According to "Sport", the Catalans have abandoned their intentions to acquire the shining Dutch footballer from the club.
Press reports suggest that the main reason is the huge price tag of the deal.
The La Liga champions have calculated that the total expenses would reach up to 200 million euros - including the transfer fee, player’s salary, and a generous bonus for the player's agent.
It was previously reported that the most realistic destination for M.de Ligt is the team of Juventus from Turin.
