Transfer News: Ajax starlet 'oblivious' to Barcelona, Juventus and Liverpool links

18 nov 2018

As Frenkie De Jong, Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax chatted with Mundo Deportivo briefly and without a microphone after appearing before the media. The centre-back preferred to be reserved about the rumours that place him and De Jong on Barcelona's transfer list. "It's something that comes out in the papers but it's not something that affects me," he said.

Aware that his time in Ajax has an expiration date for June 30 next year, De Ligt wants to focus on continuing to grow before making the leap in quality. The defender is number one on the list of candidates for Barcelona to strengthen the defence next season, with Liverpool and Juventus also expressing interest.
