Sources: M. de Ligt chose "Man Utd" club.

Reliable sources in Catalonia report that Barcelona's plan to lure both talented Ajax footballers from Amsterdam will not burn out.

According to journalist Gerardo Romero, Matthijs de Ligt will not follow in the footsteps of his compatriot Frenkie de Jong. The defender is now close to an agreement with Manchester United.

The "Red Devils" guarantee the Dutchman not only a starting role in the team, but also a contract that he requested with his agent Mino Raiola.

The source mentioned emphasized that the negotiations are still ongoing, but there is a higher probability that M. de Ligt will move to the Manchester team.

According to various sources, M. de Ligt has requested a salary of 14 million euros per year, which "Man Utd" is willing to pay him.

The services of the 19-year-old defender are also being sought by Turin's Juventus and Munich's Bayern.
