19-year-old de Ligt is probably the hottest property in Europe right now.

The youngster was only coming through the ranks in 2017 when he was thrust into the spotlight in the Europa League final against Manchester United. Since then, his career's been on an upward trajectory.

At such a young age, he already has 13 caps for the Netherlands, forming the spine of a young and exciting team. Unsurprisingly, Barcelona, Manchester City, Juventus, Manchester United and PSG all want to sign him.

De Ligt is known for his pace, positioning, passing, and maturity. Even though he doesn't turn 20 until August, many fans believed that he was ready to take a step up in January itself.

He ended up staying at Ajax, but it won't be long until other clubs come knocking. His teammate de Jong has already signed for Barcelona, and fans of the Blaugrana would love to see de Ligt follow in his compatriot's footsteps.
