Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars has conceded that his club will "have no choice" but to sell Matthijs de Ligt in the summer, and he backed the centre-back to "go to a top club."
The 19-year-old defensive star is already Ajax captain and is widely considered to be one of the best young players in the world. Back in December the Dutchman won the 2018 Golden Boy award, given to the best player under the age of 21 in Europe.
De Ligt has been linked to a number of Europe's biggest clubs, including Juventus, Manchester City, Manchester United and Barcelona, who have already snapped up his team-mate and compatriot Frenkie de Jong.
