The Netherlands prodigy has been caught up in a whirlwind of speculation thanks to his commanding performances for Ajax this season
Ajax sensation Matthijs de Ligt admitted he still does not know what the future holds for him as reports of a bidding war between Barcelona and Manchester United for his services intensify.
Barca appeared to have the inside track on his transfer after landing team-mate Frenkie de Jong, but United have hit back this week with a renewed push to sign the teenager.
But De Ligt, currently on international duty with Netherlands, is not looking beyond his current commitments with the Oranje.
"Where do I see myself? Well obviously the Premier League is a big competition, Spain also, but you have other competitions, it’s not just about those two," he explained in Sunday's press conference.
"I still don’t know anything about where my future is, so I'll see how it goes. First we have to play two games and after that I will see what happens next.
"Of course there is some interest from clubs, but I don’t want to say some names who are interested, but what I will say is I am now focused on the national team and after the national team I will see what the future brings."

No he didn't break silence. Instead, he added paraffin to fire.

it is a shame you don't understand what is football. for the record, Neymar Real Madrid offered more money but Neymar chose Barcelona, Neymar did not join PSG because of Money, Neymar wanted to lead a team and not to be in anyone's shadow, Griezmann did not turn Barcelona down because of Money, he did it because of Loyalty, Shaw grabbed Money and he is still doing and playing well at the moment. Look at Shaw, if that injury he had that kept him out for almost 2 years, had it been he was earning 40k, how well do you think he would have copped been away from football? I said you don't know what is football because you are only looking at how much a player was signed and not what that player will gain in the future. Football is not something you can predict, i remember Giovani Dos Santos who we all thought will be the next Ronaldohno, Big clubs came for him but he refused to go just to remain with Barcelona, where is he now, what about Bojan.....many big clubs where after him and he turned them down, how did his career go ? they turn down big money move yet their careers still go down like it did, Had it been Thiago refused to go to Bayern and remain with Barcelona, who knows by now he might have ended up with stock city. What about Renato Sanchez who turned down big Money from Manchester United to join Bayern Munich, how is his career now? Big money or no big money, a player have to considered where he will have more time on the pitch than on the bench. Griezmann remain with Atletico because he is their lord and have achieved so much with them. you talk about Neymar chosen big money, M2000 that was why i said you know nothing about football because that money was paid to Barcelona not Neymar. had it been Griezmann agree to join Barcelona last season, Barcelona will increase his salary and he will be earning more than he is earning with Atletico now. Remember Atletico was on transfer ban and Griezmann have to show his Loyalty by sticking with them. Say things you know and leave things you don't know. Young players need where their playing time will be assured
And about Griezmann... it wasn’t about loyalty .. he wanted to leave because he wanted champions league glory and he knew he could do that with Barca than Atletico.. but a new contact that could double his wage is far too much to resists think about this yourself... a player who’s wage was 12.5million Was offered 23M compared to 17M offered by Barca? You telling me he won’t stick around with 23M ? Money is everything to some players.. Greizmann’s for more trophy was just too important at this stage .. he is 28 and if he can’t achieve champion league now? Then he can’t anymore that’s why he is moving
