The posture of Matthijs Of Ligt about the rumours that link him to the Barça

In spite of being fully concentrated in the football, Matthijs of Ligt is fully conscious of the a lot of rumours that are appearing lately in the media on his future, and that situate him already in big clubs of Europe like the Bayern Munich, the Manchester City or the FC Barcelona, that by his part would be following his evolutions with big attention.

It is not any secret that the FC Barcelona is one of the clubs that carries months monitoring the performances and the progression of Matthijs of Ligt. Already it sounded his signing along the past season, when it still did not have fichado to Clément Lenglet, and now listens every time with more strength of face to the summer of 2019, when it foresees that Thomas Vermaelen do the cases.

In the last hours, 'MD' asked to Of Ligt on the rumours that link him to the FC Barcelona and to other clubs, and obtained an elegant answer of an Of Ligt that knows to what give priority, and that does not leave intoxicate, for now, by the speculations of the sportive press. "It is something that goes out in the papers, but is not something that affect me", answered Of Ligt, always according to the quoted newspaper.

The central youngster Dutch is the number one in the diary of signings of the FC Barcelona to reinforce the defensive saga, but the reality is that his high price, that increases with the step of the months, is a question that throws to backwards to the Catalan entity, to the not wanting to credit near of 80 million euros by a player that would not be neither much less title indisputable.

Matthijs Of Ligt, with the clear ideas

Independently of the news on his future, Of Ligt centres in the present and in surrendering the best possible, so much with the Ajax of Amsterdam as with the selection of Holland. "I want to be the most complete possible", signalled recently in press conference. "My first task is to warn goals. Do goals is an extra weapon with which can be important for the team. This is something that certainly can improve".

After the last triumph against France, besides, recognised to have slept little because of the ecstasy of the moment. "After a duel with France, sleep was a bit complicated with so much emotion and adrenaline", confessed. Of Ligt breathes competitiveness and football by all the sides, and the Barça does well in fixing in a player that, to day of today and in spite of his youth, seems to have very clear his ideas.

Along the next months will see where finish playing the season 2019-20, but a thing is clear: hardly it will be in the Ajax of Amsterdam, where Overmars and company will have it more than complicated to retain him.
