Tottenham have learnt how much they will need to pay if they want to land Ajax youngster Matthijs de Ligt this summer.
The Premier League club has been strongly linked with moves for the 18-year-old over the last few months, as a replacement for Manchester United target Toby Alderweireld.
The Belgium star is expected to quit Tottenham this summer for a fee in the region of 50 million pounds.
Ajax are expected to try and cash in on the young centre-back, who has also previously been linked with Barcelona, Arsenal and Manchester City, but according to The Sun they want £48million for the player.
That would represent a club-record fee for Spurs, who coughed up £42m for De Ligt’s former Ajax team-mate Davinson Sanchez last summer, but would not be an issue for United as Mourinho looks to revamp his side for a title challenge in 2018-19.
