Manchester United have reportedly offered Matthijs de Ligt a massive £236,000-per-week to move to Old Trafford this summer.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in need of a central defender and the Dutch sensation fits the bill as a poster boy for the manager's huge rebuilding job.
According to Sport, the club have offered him £12.3million-a-year in an attempt to gazump the queue of top European clubs chasing the 19-year-old.
Barcelona had been front-runners to sign de Ligt after his close friend and team-mate Frenkie de Jong agreed a move in January.
But the Catalan club recognise that they are unable to compete with the massive wage on offer from United.
De Ligt has been inspirational as Ajax captain this year, leading them to the domestic double seconds away from the Champions League final before Tottenham scored with the last kick.
In terms of a financial package, Manchester City could rival United with an offer, particularly as Pep Guardiola looks to fill the void left by Vincent Kompany.
