he Spanish champions have already committed to paying an initial €75m for Ajax’s Frenkie de Jong. They are also keen on Antoine Griezmann — who has told Atletico Madrid of his desire to leave and will be available for €120m from July 1 — and Matthijs de Ligt.
Barca have an agreement in place with Ajax to sign De Ligt but are yet to strike a deal with the player. They will re-open contact with his agent, Mino Raiola, this week, but believe Paris Saint-Germain are currently best placed to land the Dutch defender. Signing De Ligt would push Umtiti closer to the exit door.
