The Dutch international, 18, is considered one of the best centre-back prospects in world football — and has attracted interest from some of the biggest clubs in the game.

Barcelona, who enjoy a good relationship with the Dutch giants, are keen and have asked to receive any information on potential suitors for De Ligt.
