Barcelona has given an update on Matthijs de Ligt amid Bayern Munich

Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt has been linked with a move to several clubs including Bayern Munich, Juventus, Manchester City, Barcelona, etc. After his teammate, Frenkie de Jong, completed a €75million move to Barcelona, it has been reported that the defender wants to follow his teammates’ steps. “I think everyone would like to play football at FC Barcelona once in their career. We’re going to see where I end up, I’m very happy at Ajax right now, I hope to have a nice season here, or maybe even seasons”, De Ligt told to NUsport. However, Barcelona boss Josep Maria Bartomeu insists they are ‘not close’ to signing Matthijs de Ligt. “We do not close doors to any player, although now there is nothing, and if there was, we would not explain it," said Bartomeu.
