Matthijs de Ligt’s agent, Mino Raiola, has branded rumors he was in France to close a deal with Paris Saint-Germain for the Ajax defender as “fake news.”
Wednesday saw reports from across Europe that PSG were close to a deal for De Ligt, with PSG said to have offered the 19-year-old a five-year deal.
Lassana Camara, a Mauritanian journalist, tweeted a picture of himself with Raiola accompanied by text that said: “Mino Raiola is in Paris to finalize the transfer of the young defender from Ajax, De Ligt, to PSG.”
However, Raiola is not having any of it.
