We dont know how much Barca offered him and whether de Ligt really said yes or no to Barca's offer. We wont know anything until at least beginning of July. All this news is just coming from reporters who probably know nothing at this point. I only believe Domenech who just said yesterday that de Ligt didnt make a decision and that his family prefers Barca, with his father in law openly preferring Barca.
If Oriol says the same thing as what the SER report says, I will believe it but even then, things happen. Until then, dont believe anything you read especially since de Ligt is still on vacation and this is just Raiola trying to get more money.
Exactly . I still have high hopes of getting him .
His family and team mates .. ex Dutch legends want him to come plus we already have his best friend FDJ here ..
Also ManU are in a right state and PSG seem to have so many problems.
That said .., we have Valverde
Lets not pretend that this message is any more trustworthy than all of the previous clickbait.
I could tweet that De Ligt has a picture of Ronaldo beside his bed and kisses it goodnight every day, and y'all would believe it as if your mother was telling you something.

I doubt Oriol Domenech knows anything about what De Ligt wants at this point. I doubt he has anything new to say at all. Week after week he has been saying the same thing, essentially it is difficult for us to get De Ligt but he is still somewhat optimistic. I don’t think he is necessarily more credible than Cadena SER.
The fact that De Ligt is vacationing in Miami doesn’t contract with anything, it doesn’t mean he can’t make a decision while he is on vacation. I am sure Raiola is talking to him regularly to let him know what offers he has received etc. Lastly, why WOULDN’T De Ligt listen to Raiola? He hired him, didn’t he? He wanted to maximize his monetary gains, that’s why he hired him in the first place. Last time I checked, we were not going to pay the alleged 20m commission to Raiola while others (PSG) was. It is not unfathomable to think that De Ligt would want Raiola to be happy after he secures him the best deal possible.
At this point, of course, nothing is official and done. I personally think Juventus has the best chance to get him.
I believe Domenech cause he has sources inside Ajax. He just said yesterday that de Ligt still didnt make his decision.
Well, I wouldnt expect a smart footballer like de Ligt to listen to Raiola who doesnt want him to go to Barca (or other clubs who wont be able to pay the fees) purely because of economical reasons.
Like you said, nothing is official until its official. I also think that he's not coming here but I wouldn't believe these reports just yet.
I accepted the idea of him not coming here for a while now.
If he really wanted to come here that bad, you don't hire Raiola for that. He hired Raiola in order to get the best deal possible out of all the big clubs out there and he will choose the best deal that he wants, whether or not it's us or a club like PSG. Don't really blame De Ligt for that either.
I've felt that the club didn't put as much effort into getting De Ligt as we did with De Jong, due to priorities. It may sound like "Well I didn't want him anyway!" talk but with De Jong, it truly felt we pulled out all the stops with him but with De Ligt we offered him the best of what we were going to give him and that was it.
De Ligt didn’t employ Raiola .., De Ligt’s own agent apparently felt he was out of his depth when it was clear that these latest contract offers were far too complex and he wasn’t comfortable dealing with the mega millions on offer .. it was the agent who apparently made enquires and settled on Raiola .
And De Ligt didn't know anything about that? Nah. He also could just fire Raiola know and sign wherever he wants. He isn't his slave.
Let's not pretend De Ligt doesn't have anything to do with this. He is ok with whatever is Raiola doing right now, otherwise he would've already fired him or signed for a club.
It's totally legit to listen to offers and try to get the best deal, but that also shows he doesn't want to join Barca at all costs because if that was true he would already be a Barca player and Raiola couldn't do anything about it.
