Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu is set to travel out to the Netherlands to negotiate a potential deal for Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt.

After an impressive few seasons with Ajax, De Ligt is one of the most sought after defenders in world football, with the likes of Barcelona, Juventus and PSG all said to be interested in snapping him up this summer.

Following on from recent reports that claimed Barcelona have already submitted a €60m offer for the 19-year-old, Spanish radio network Onda Cero is now reporting that Bartomeu is set to travel out to the Netherlands in the coming days.
