“His name is on the table, for sure.”
That’s how FC Barcelona president is categorizing the signing of Matthijs de Ligt publicly. Barça are making no secret of the fact that they are enamored by the Ajax defender, despite the fact that the team is already stacked at the position.
Publicly, Bartomeu said only that they had to talk about it in March, and only then will a decision be made. But rumors about what’s going on behind the scenes suggest the Catalans may have already come to a conclusion.
Diario SPORT reports that Barcelona’s scouts and staff are convinced by the player’s quality.
