They have happened a lot of months since Matthijs of Ligt announced that it would leave the Ajax, but now has arrived the decisive moment in his signing. Without sportive obligations in sight and with the campaign ready to finish the defender has to choose his next destination and announce it of official form, a subject that has turned into a career with a lot of competitors in which anybody wants to give by defeated.
In a position of privilege is the FC Barcelona, that is the favourite to do with his services. In the Camp Nou offer him a project to his measure, with a style and philosophy treaded to which has learnt in Amsterdam, in addition to the possibility to struggle by the titles year after year beside a mate and fellow like Frenkie of Jong.
The Catalans have done all what is in his hand to certify his contracting, visiting him with frequency and exposing him the virtues of a generous bet in the economic and in the sportive. Like sucedió with the midfield player, the negotiation has gone through some altibajos, but in these moments exists confidence in that there is green light of all the parts.
As 'Sportive World', this yes, there is also some restlessness by the reflection of the young, that values equally other proposals. All know that dress of Barcelona is a dream, but to the hour of the truth, the one of Leiderdorp wants to review the pros and the contras of all his beaux before stepping that it will affect notably to the future of his career.
And in the City Condal there is a cast of head offices that at first sight impresses, something that still would cause him some doubt to the Dutch. Samuel Umtiti and Clément Lenglet have consolidated in spite of his youth happening a demanding examination of level, but even the experience of Gerard Hammered has not been an obstacle so that the Catalan have gone back to confirm like one of the best defences of the world. In other clubs, offer minutes and titularities to a much lower price, and this also is necessary to take it into account.
Of Ligt has quality of leftovers to play it with the Barça
What has to take into account Of Ligt and what has treated him to expose, is that his quality will open him hollow in a Barça that it is the best place to explode all his potential, although, logically, the principle do not go to be simple and force him to give the best of himself same. Perhaps in other destinations the adaptation was lighter, but on a long-term basis many consider that it would go out benefited to choose the Camp Nou. The decision is in his hand, and does not go to take in arriving.
