The well-known player’s advisor Mino Raiola, who represents the young Dutchman Matthijs de Ligt in transfer matters, apparently does not want the Ajax defender to switch to FC Barcelona. This was reported by the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo.
According to the report, the 51-year-old star consultant should be hesitant about a transfer from de Ligt to Catalonia because he prefers a change to a financially stronger club.
The newspaper mentions Manchester United, FC Bayern Munich and Juventus Turin as alternatives to the newly crowned Spanish champions.
De Ligt, captain of Eredivisie club Ajax, is said to have already chosen FC Barcelona. At the same time, however, the latest speculations also recall the 19-year-old’s statement in the March interview with Italian Tuttosport that Raiola’s advisor would decide his future. If you believe, then de Ligt could sign with another top European club.
While according to SportBild FC Bayern is said to have withdrawn from the negotiations on the future of the Dutch national player, other Spanish media are writing about an already established transfer to Camp Nou. This is supposed to be announced after the semi-final of the Champions League.
