Mino Raiola's own demands are complicating Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt's transfer plans.

Mundo Deportivo says the Ajax skipper is expected to depart Amsterdam with Barcelona the favourites to acquire his signature though Manchester United and Liverpool are also keen.

The role of agent Raiola is proving a complication when it comes to his future destination.

Raiola, who includes Paul Pogba amongst his clients, is reportedly demanding a fee of between €8m and €10m for his services as an intermediary in the deal.

That is more than Barcelona are willing to pay, and as a result he is encouraging an auction to acquire the services of his client.
