- Barca have a 70-million euros agreement on de Ligt's transfer with Ajax.
- Some things still need to be sorted out between Barcelona and the player's agent, Mino Raiola.
- De Ligt wants the move to be completed before 24 May when he joins the national team.
- In the next 10 days, the final meeting should take place between Barca and de Ligt where everything will be signed.
- The move will be announced after Copa final.
Despite Matthijs de Ligt's transfer to Barcelona being roughly agreed on, the official announcement is still pending.
According to Diario Sport, there are several reasons for that. Firstly, it's de Ligt'sgreat performances in the Champions League that saw many other European clubs interested and trying to outbid Barca for the centre-back. Secondly, it's the player's agent, Mino Raiola, who is notoriously 'difficult' to deal with in negotiations. This last factor has even prompted Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu to take charge of the transfer himself, just like he did previously with Frenkie de Jong.
Blaugrana colours would really suit them, wouldn't they?
In any case, the deal is nearing its completion and, according to Sport's information, de Ligt wants everything sorted out before 24 May when he joins Holland on national duty. Ajax's final game this season will take place on Wednesday and after that the 19-year-old will have a 10-day break before joining the national team. During this period the two parties will meet again to sign the final agreement.
