The journalist denied that De Ligt's raised his financial demands, the version offered by sources close to FC Barcelona, who assure that De Ligt's attitude is colder and more distant than Frenkie's.
Manchester United have told Ajax that, in the case the reach an agreement with the player, the could pay the transfer fee the Dutch club want.
