Matthijis de Ligt is weighing up his future on holiday with his model girlfriend Annekee Molenaar as Europe’s top clubs continue to chase his signature.
The Dutch central defender was pictured sunbathing and going for a stroll with his other half at their South Beach hotel in Florida.
Ajax’s captain is enjoying a break in the United States after an outstanding season and was dressed all in white with dark sunglasses on.

He was also seen reading international team-mate Memphis Depay’s autobiography ‘Heart of a Lion’.
De Ligt has been in a relationship with Molenaar since December last year. The 5ft 8in model is represented by Wilma Wakker Model Management in Holland.
Perhaps she is playing confidant to De Ligt as he considers the biggest move of his promising career.
Barcelona, Juventus and Manchester United are all trying to secure the powerful 19-year-old’s services.

But it seems like PSG is the favoured destination as it stands as the French side have offered £17m-a-year wages that their competitors are unwilling to match.
Juventus have not quite given up hope and are preparing one final attempt to convince him his future lies in Turin.
Director Pavel Nedved is in talks with De Ligt’s agent Mino Raiola and in the process of putting together a financial package for him.
Now that Maurizio Sarri has joined the Italian side, they can present their case with more clarity but PSG are still thought to be front-runners at this stage.
