The agent of Matthijs de Ligt, Mino Raiola, in transfer talks with the conclusion of an agreement

Ligt's Matthijs' agent, Mino Raiola, is holding transfer negotiations today – and an agreement on Manchester United's target is near, according to a source.

But discussions are not made with United or Barcelona's favorites, according to the latest reports.

Instead, it is Paris-Saint Germain who would have taken the lead in the recruitment race for the young captain of Ligt for Ajax, which is the most fashionable property in Europe this summer.

De Ligt became the most sought-after central defender after being captain of Ajax in the Champions League semi-finals and Eredivisie's title at just 19 years old.

The Dutch international was to follow his Ajax teammate, Frenkie de Jong, to Barcelona, ​​but United wants to make him a new defense base, while Manchester City has also aroused his interest.

And former Manchester United man Cristiano Ronaldo has also announced his luck, he should join Juventus.

But according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, De Ligt 's agent would be in Paris today to meet the super rich French champions.

Di Marzio says the negotiations are "in an advanced state".

De Ligt went on vacation after the UEFA Champions League campaign and confirmed that a decision would be made upon his return.

"I still do not know what shirt I'm going to wear after such a long season, now I just want to relax," he said.

Reports in Spain suggest that De Ligt's friends and advisers told him to join United.

"If you go to United, in three years, Barca will pay what it will cost you," they told him, according to SPORT.

De Ligt would have reservations about his move to the Nou camp, knowing that he would not be the first choice.

The teenager will certainly not encounter this problem at United with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who is desperate to strengthen his defensive options.
