De Ligt:”Barcelona has great defenders but I’m not afraid of competition”

After an extraordinary season in which he won two national titles and played in the Champions League semifinal, Matthijs De Ligt is a hot name on the transfer market. The twenty year old defender spoke about his future in an interview with Mundo Deportivo:”I still don’t know what my heart says, I focused only on Ajax and national team. Now during my vacation I can decide about my future. I don’t know when I’ll decide, I’ll take my time”

De Ligt went on:”The most important thing is knowing that the team I go to can highlight me and I can play in many matches. Barcelona has great defenders, but competition doesn’t scare me. It’s normal and logical that at a club like Barça there’s competition. It would be nice to play with Messi, but I have to do what is best for me. I’m still thinking about it, maybe this is not the time”

De Ligt was asked about his chat with Ronaldo on Sunday:”Cristiano asked me to go to Juve? I don’t pay attention to anyone, I’ll be only one to decide my journey”.
