I’ve watched a lot of him because Ajax have so many talented players for the future. He’s the best young defender in the league, he’s very mature... one of the leaders of the team and is capable of playing the entire pitch.
There’s times this season in which Vinnie or Nico would be with the ball all the way in the final third and be stuck not knowing what to do with all that freedom, de Ligt is more natural and can even finish as if he was an attacking player he’s so gifted on the ball. He’s really grown since the Europa final against United.
He’s not a player you loan within CFG or anywhere else and you only “loan” him back to Ajax if that’s the only way we can get his signinature(sort of like what Barca what’s to do with Frenkie De Jong for 2019). Having that Ajax education will do well for him in adapting to us because Pep uses similar principals. If we were to sign him I would send Sandler who we signed from PEC Zwolle on a 2 year loan deal to Ajax as he’s more raw but ready to play for one of the top teams in the Netherlands and see how he develops further.
