Matthijs de Ligt is currently the most sought-after young defender in the world after his terrific performances throughout the season. The Dutchman was rock-solid for his team in their semi-final run to the Champions League and is being eyed by Barcelona.

However, it seems like the Catalans aren’t the only ones interested as Liverpool have also been touted with a move for the Dutchman and according to reports, Barcelona feel that the Reds are using Virgil Van Dijk to persuade his compatriot to join him at Anfield.

Meanwhile, according to reports from Spain, Lionel Messi wants Barcelona to sign Paul Pogba from Manchester United. The Catalans also realise that signing the Frenchman would hurt the plans of the Galacticos, which is why they are willing to include Ivan Rakitic in a deal to bring the Frenchman who has also been linked with the Merengues.
