De Ligt is one of the most sought-after players on the European football scene this summer.

Senior Ajax officials have already confirmed that the young Dutch international defender will leave the club this summer.

Liverpool have been told to sign Matthijs De Ligt as the Reds try to usurp Premier League champions Manchester City at the top of English football.

Manchester City beat Liverpool to the Premier League title by just a solitary point at the end of the 38-game season.

For now, Matthijs De Ligt is still an Ajax Amsterdam player having led the Dutch Eredivisie giants to their first domestic double in a long time.
