"One of the most desired purchases for the next summer, Matthijs de Ligt, will not move to Barcelona, according to the Catalan newspaper "Sport". The 19-year-old center-back, recently awarded the "Golden Boy" prize, has long been linked to Barcelona, but the mentioned source indicates that the Catalans will invest in other players this summer, so M. de Ligt simply won't have extra money. "Barca" cannot guarantee regular playing time for the Dutchman, so both the Catalans and the player himself will be looking elsewhere. It is said that his agent, Mino Raiola, is currently negotiating with Turin's Juventus and Manchester United. Bayern are also in the race for the player, but their priority is currently Lucas Hernandez. However, according to the same source, Barcelona will not be empty-handed and will buy another talent from Ajax - Frenkie de Jong. "Sport" claims that an agreement has already been reached with the player himself, which will cost around 75 million euros."
