Young defender Ajax Matejs de Ligt drew attention from the Spanish grandee.

De Ligt is one of the most promising Dutch football players. In May, he became the youngest player in the history of the finals of the Europa League when he went into the starting lineup of Ajax for the match against Manchester United.

Mundo Deportivo reports that attention was paid to Matejs by Barcelona. The club believes that it is ideal for the model of the team's game.

It is expected that the "blue-garnet" will try to sign this player next summer.

Recently, the 18-year-old defender extended the contract with Ajax until 2021.

De Ligt joined Ajax in 2009, and in September 2016 made his debut for the first team in the Dutch Cup match against Willem II.
