Barcelona have agreed a fee with Ajax for in-demand skipper Matthijs de Ligt, according to a report.

The Netherlands international has been touted as a target for the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Barca following an incredible campaign for the Dutch giants.

De Ligt revealed last weekend that talks were ongoing with Barcelona, but he had not shaken hands on a deal.

Esport 3 suggests that a transfer is now close to going through, however, as the defender's agent Mino Raiola has continued discussions with Barca chiefs and an agreement is in place.

The Spanish champions have already snapped up De Ligt's teammate and compatriot Frenkie de Jong, who cost them £65m and will officially join in July.
