Remember thinking similarly when De Jong was allegedly signing contract with PSG

It's got to be a negotiating tactic to pressure Barcelona. Classic Raiola tactic.
De Ligt would be a great player if he came to City, for sure.
However at the risk of being perma-banned from this forum, I do think he seems a bit over hyped. Admittedly I've only watched a handful of games for Ajax and Netherlands (although I'd argue I'm not alone) but I've never seen anything that makes me marvel, unlike De Jong for example.

If he did, it could only be for the money .
Oh plus the excellent management / coaching from the glove puppet , obviously.

I agree that De Ligt would likely prefer to go to Barca, all things being equal. However playing Devil's advocate, perhaps with him being 3 years younger than De Jong, he feels he can get much higher salary now and go there later and have a long career there?Remember thinking similarly when De Jong was allegedly signing contract with PSG

Why the fuss about him going to the rags? Just because he liked something on faceache.

You didn’t watch the first leg of the CL semi final then? He was phenomenal. Best player on the pitch and what I love about him is his maturity, drive and dedication. At 19! He’s a born leader.

One wouldn't marvel over Laporte based on a handfull of games. It's like that with defenders. The better they do their job the more invisible they become, in a sense.De Ligt would be a great player if he came to City, for sure.

At 19 he captained a team of unproven kids to a champions league semi-final. Hyped players don't do that IMO.
