Matthijs de Ligt

He won't come in January. Don't give MD and Sport your clicks.

Ajax are simply not selling de Ligt or de Jong mid-season and neither will force their way out at that time of the season either. Besides with Valverde at the helm he could come in January and be kept on the bench for months and El Profesor's excuse would be: "He need to adapt".

I want him, but I also don't want the club to screw him over, and I also want to be a bit realistic this time.

100% agree, but there is a little twist there.
Apparently City are rumored to be after him, and will try to sign in January and loan back till summer (same with FDJ) so I won't be surprised if we have to enter an auction for him in January thanks to Txiki
 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bit of an odd one: City felt Barca would be the ones signing De Jong, but now Barca feel City have got ahead of them. Barca worried City could even sign him in Jan & loan back to Ajax. Both want De Ligt too.

Posted in wrong thread. I don't think there going after De Ligt, it's De Jong their after.

The article is a bit confusing but they are after both. And both clubs have alternative for midfield (Rabiot for us and Tanguy Ndombele for them)
I just hope City won't go full crazy for De Ligt.

If Man City are seriously in for both then we can already forget them. With how slowly things move in Barcelona they'll already be in Manchester signing their Man City contracts while singing Blue Moon Rising while Barca are sending in their first bid :lol:

Fucking annoying how Pep/City keeps fishing in the same pond where we seem to be.
The worst part is I think we should strike name, make a summer deal with Ajax for both and be done with it. But I dont trust our board, chasing Pogba signing Rabiot and presenting Pique as our new signing a la Puyol is more likely sadly.

We shouldn't be surprised. City plays Barca type game, but just faster.

It's an open market. Which other players have Man City signed that we wanted? Gabriel Jesus and that's it I believe.
