Ajax centre-back Matthijs de Ligt agrees to join Barcelona at the end of the season, according to a report.

Ajax centre-back Matthijs de Ligt has reportedly already agreed to join Barcelona at the end of the season.

De Ligt, 19, is widely regarded as one of the best youngsters in world football and has been linked with a host of Europe's heavyweights over the last few months.

Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool and Juventus have all been credited with an interest, but according to De Telegraaf, De Ligt will be joining Barca in this summer's transfer window.

Indeed, the Dutch publication's head of sports, Valentijn Driessen, has written that "it's clear De Ligt will leave Ajax for Barca" at the end of the 2018-19 campaign.

De Ligt, who has a contract at Ajax until the summer of 2021, recently hinted that he could make the move to Juve. However, it now appears that the teenager will be lining up for the Spanish champions next term.
