Rumor round-up: De Ligt clue, Mata desire, Lacazette option

De Ligt clue

The transfer of Matthijs de Ligt to Barcelona is inching closer. Mundo Deportivo and Diario SPORT are both talking about it in their frontpage today, because RAI Sport has echoed a story published earlier on CalcioMercato.com. The story says that Ajax’s director, Marc Overmars, let slip to Juventus that De Ligt was on his way to Barcelona. The report originally came out last month so things may have changed, but for the moment it’s seen as a hint.
