The Ajax captain has been linked with a move to Barcelona for weeks but negotiations with the Catalan giants are said to have stalled when his agent Mino Raiola demanded more money.
Juventus and Bayern Munich have also been associated with the 19-year-old, but it now appears that Manchester United is the most likely destination.
Catalan outlet RAC1 is reporting that Manchester United have made the centre-back a huge offer and that he is “very close” to the Premier League giants.
the worst choice he could use
i would rather prefer him to stay at ajax for one more year than going to manchester united
We all know Raiola is out to fill his own pockets, but surely De Ligt is smart enough not to go for this. Man Utd is a pale imitation of the side it was 10 years ago and players have been wrecking their careers by going there in recent seasons. Money or not, he’ll be shooting himself in the foot if he agrees to this move.
Interesting to read my sister-in-law’s reaction ….she is lifelong United fan and ST holder….
“Wow ? yes but not sure if he really wants to come it’s that damn Raiola agent just wanting more money! Just as he does with Pogba and he then turns them against the club to move on again. Sorry this poor lad has chosen him for his agent he is toxic. ”
