    Matthijs de Ligt

    Ajax will require an offer of at least €60 million to part with their highly-rated centre-back, according to Mundo Deportivo.

    The 19-year-old Dutch international has been on Barcelona’s radar for a long time, and has reportedly already informed the Catalan club of his desire to join them at the end of the current season.

    De Ligt is represented by Mino Raiola, agent to Paul Pogba, and the controversial figure will be central to getting any potential transfer over the line between Ajax and the La Liga champions.

    Kalidou Koulibaly

    Manchester United are monitoring the Napoli defender and could pounce for their long-term target in January.

    According to the Sunday Times, the Red Devils view the 27-year-old as their ideal man to partner Eric Bailly at the heart of the defence and have the funds available to meet his £80million valuation.

    Koulibaly, who only signed a fresh deal at Stadio San Paolo in September, has grown into being one of the standout centre-backs in world football after moving to Italy in 2014.
