Matthijs de Ligt has been on the radar of FC Barcelona for weeks and there is more and more information, now also from Italy, that places the Dutch central among the great priorities of the culé club
"I think that all know which clubs mention for Matthijs of Ligt as 'next step'. We will see this summer", commented Mino Raiola to 'US' does some weeks. The representative, questioned by the teams and if his destination was in England, aimed that "Premier League? Also it can be the FC Barcelona, the Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain…", leaving to the international with Low Countries, again, in the radar of the Barcelona picture.
Of Ligt has been reason of interest for the Barça from does a few years. In 2019, when it went to abandon the Ajax, the Barcelona entity him tanteó, but the Juventus won him the career with an offer irresistible of 75 million euros (more ten 'kilos' in variables). Almost three years afterwards, the history can give an important twist and Of Ligt could finish playing in the Camp Nou... If the economic situation allows it.
It is necessary to remember, now more than ever, that the economic situation of the Barça is in his worst moment and that the club is not in conditions to carry out an economic outlay of this magnitude (or any) and, the Juventus, will not put him the simple way to the entity culé. In fact, 'The Gazzetta dello Sport' has desvelado that the 'bianconeri' will ask the whole of his clause of rescission, which would be of 125 million euros.
It had spoken before that the 'Vecchia Signora' went to be had to reduce to the half his economic pretences, but all seem to have remained in a rumour. The before quoted source insists in that that is the price of exit and that from the Allianz Sand want to ingresar the whole of his clause. And, there, the Barça can do little or at all.
There is interest between both parts
From 'LGDZ' have desvelado that there is interest between both parts and that have existed contacts, remembering the meeting that kept Mino Raiola and Joan Laporta does some weeks in Turín in which the representative informed to the maximum Barcelona mandator of the availability of the central Dutch. For the moment, it is totally descartado a traspaso in January, but if it exists the possibility, tantearía in July... As long as they exist these 125 millions that asks the Juventus by Of Ligt.
