The top European defender that Koeman and Laporta are interested in
What's more, he's got a very close friend already at Barcelona
Barcelona arrive at the end of the season close to a double which would be a very pleasant surprise. Ronald Koeman has done a good job putting the pieces together to make a capable team.
They are looking ahead to next season and Eduardo Inda said, on El Chiringuito, that they are looking at a top defender to bring in. That would be Matthijs De Ligt, the Juventus defender, who at 21 is establishing himself well.
The Dutchman is on a long Barca wishlist, and he has a good friend at the club from Ajax - Frenkie de Jong.
The idea would be for him to play with Eric Garcia, who is arriving from Manchester City. However with needs in other areas, it would be a surprise if they got both.
