But that hasn’t stopped him remaining in contact with his representatives and mulling over his future by the beach.

Despite Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu flying to Amsterdam in a bid to court the player and Frenkie de Jong doing his best to convince De Ligt, he has decided against a move to Spain.

Juventus, Manchester United and Bayern Munich were also all credited with interest in the teenager.

Although a deal has not yet been agreed with Ajax, it seems that a switch to the Parc des Princes is drawing ever closer.
