Six clubs, including the Reds, are now targeting the wonderkid as they look to add to their defences in the transfer window.Barcelona and Juventus have already reportedly made contact, while Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also keen.De Ligt has been open about his likely Ajax exit this summer and has courted approaches from interested clubs, all whilst being tight-lipped over his preferred move.Liverpool were recently installed as one of the favourites to land the Netherlands star and unite him with international team-mate Virgil van Dijk at the heart of Jurgen Klopp’s back-four. Fans go wild as Liverpool celebrate their Champions League victory with bus parade They would have to break the bank to sign De Ligt, though, with Ajax likely to demand a world record fee for a defender and with United and PSG offering wages of up to 250,000-per-week to join them.And Dutch football expert Marcel van der Kraan believes the European champions would also have to pay big money to super-agent Mino Raiola if they want to bring De Ligt to Anfield something Barcelona, in particular, are refusing to do.Asked what Liverpool have to do to sign the Dutch starlet this summer, the Netherlands-based journalist told talkSPORT: It only can be if De Ligts agent, Mino Raiola, gets the money he wants from Liverpool for himself.But the chance that he stays at Ajax is zero.getty3
