Barcelona are thought to be close to officially sealing a deal for Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt with an announcement possible in 'the coming days'.
De Ligt has been a near certainty for a big money to move to one of Europe’s top teams this summer, after thoroughly impressing for Ajax.
His stock has risen astronomically during the current campaign as he played an integral role in the Dutch side’s surprise run to the Champions League semi-finals.
Goal claim that Barcelona, who have long been considered the frontrunners to land the 19-year-old, are now very close to securing a deal to bring him over to Camp Nou.
