Matthijs de Ligt, captain of 19-year-old Ajax, wants to settle in Barcelona and find his former teammate Frenkie de Jong.

De Ligt is considered one of the most promising young centers in Europe and would cost the Catalan club 65 million pounds sterling with 9 million additional pounds, according to the same source. Mundo Deportivo.

De Jong is a close friend of De Ligt, who has not hidden his interest in a possible transfer to Barcelona.

"Everyone would like to play Barcelona," he teased after the match against Heerenveen last Thursday.

Barcelona is currently evaluating the feasibility of a possible move, although PSG and Juventus are also interested.

Long regarded as a star of the future, the defender made his international debut in March two years ago. He became the youngest player since 1931.

He has 13 caps for the Netherlands and 19 games for Ajax this season. The club is 5 points behind the PSV in the club Eredivisie.

The interest in De Ligt is not surprising given that he won the Golden Boy Award last year. He was the first defender to claim the prize for the youngest talent in Europe.

Gerard Pique's position on France's central defender, French central defender Jean-Clair Todibo, remains uncertain.

But De Ligt will evaluate any offer that will be presented by the champions of Spain and De Jong will undoubtedly make encouraging noises.

The midfielder, who signed for £ 65m in January, will remain in Ajax until the end of the season before finishing his move.

De Ligt won the Golden Boy Award last year and his fledgling talent is evident.
