Liverpool Linked With Ajax Defender Matthijs De Ligt Again as Barcelona Move Continues to Drag

Could Liverpool male Ajax captain Matthijs De Ligt their next 'trophy'? That's the question posed by German newspaper Bild, as the saga around the young defender's future rumbles on.

The Reds are still celebrating following their 2-0 Champions League final victory over Tottenham on Saturday night, their sixth European Cup triumph in total, while Jurgen Klopp and the recruitment team are expected to make few signings this summer.

However, newspaper Bild has stirred the pot by hinting that the wonderkid centre back from the Eredivisie champions could be a target for Liverpool.

De Ligt is still only 19-years-old, but is one of the most talked about players in world football following an extraordinary season with de Godenzonen, in which he won the league title and the Dutch Cup.
