De Jong Gives Honest Plea to Barcelona Over De Ligt

A friend in need is a friend indeed! One who cares for you during good times and can be there for you in your challenging times is the truest friend you can ever have. Can you remember Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt?

Ajax Football Club has done wonders in Europe this season! Many came to hear about them especially in the Champions League competition.

Ajax showed a world-class display in Europe’s elite competition, thanks to their two sensational players Matthijs de Jong and Frenkie de Jong. These two players have rocked Europe and have been two darlings that clubs scramble for.

The players have successfully led Ajax to win their domestic title this season and slightly missed qualifying for the Champions League final after Tottenham Hotspur’s miraculous comeback.

Barcelona made an early move to secure the signature of De Jong back in January this year after securing a £65 million deal. The deal was to see the Dutchman play for Ajax till the end of this season but move in the summer.

After being locked out of securing De Jong, clubs have no option but to scramble for one De Ligt. Many clubs are reportedly fighting hard to secure the Ajax defender.

Barca has been on the forefront as the player himself has also declared his interest to play for the Spanish giants. He also hinted at his desire to play alongside his Ajax teammate De Jong.

Despite other clubs like Liverpool, PSG and Manchester United looking direly to sign De Ligt, De Jong has expressed his desire to play in one team with Ligt.

“Honestly, I don’t know what de Ligt will do. It’s his decision, but the truth is it doesn’t matter to me if he joins Barça or not. It’d be nice to play together and great for Barça to sign him, a great player who can be there for many years.”

Barcelona will have nothing but to bow to pressure and go for De Ligt, arguably the best defender in the world.
