De Ligt is widely expected to depart Ajax in the summer with Barcelona tipped to make a move for the defender.
The Catalan giants have already swooped for De Ligt’s team-mate, Frenkie De Jong, with reports in Spain suggest the La Liga leaders will return for a second swoop.
De Jong has already played seven times for Holland and notched 45 appearances for Ajax last season, scoring five times.
