De Ligt, 19, is also considered to be one of the best defenders on the world football stage even at a young age.

He made history at Ajax Amsterdam last year after the young Dutch centre back became the youngest captain in the history of the club.

Matthijs De Ligt has already seen his friend/club and international teammate Frenkie De Jong and he’s ready to follow suit.

Barcelona have signed De Jong but the Dutch international midfielder won’t join the Catalans until the end of this season.

The Spanish champions were said to have paid around €75m to sign the 21-year-old.
