Got a feeling this guy will end up in Barcelona and I hope I'm wrong in this. Josep Bartomeu Barca's president consistently talks about him and he says that he knows (100% where de Ligt will end up playing next season). the fact that Pique is getting old and need a young replacement...etc. I hope we wrap up this signing really fast because those bastards will snatch him from us if we don't act fast.
He was talking like outside party who has knowledge of where De ligt is going (Meaning Raiola or Ajax told him). He specifically ended his comments with: "I can’t say any more than that right now, as it’s the interested parties who ought to announce that.”
He said parties, he is talking like Barca isnt amongst them, but that it's up to those 2 effected parties to announce the deal.
Trust me he isnt going to Barca, they have signed De Jong for ALOT, have Pique, Umtiti and Lenglet, signing Griezmann while flirting with Neymar, can't sell Coutinho. Have the highest salary spending in sports. It would take ALOT of re prioritizing everything for them to afford it.
De Ligt clearly wants or wanted primarily Barca, only reason it hasn't happend is they arent going after him, too much for them considering their attacking targets. You can only spend so much.
