With Real Madrid and Bayern Munich also rumoured to be in for the youngster, Ten Hag admits that it is certain he will depart this summer.

"There is zero chance that De Ligt will continue at Ajax," he told told German daily Suddeutsche. "There are too many clubs interested in him. He will leave us this summer, but I do not know if he will go to Bayern or Barcelona."

Ajax will also lose midfielder Frenkie de Jong to Barcelona at the end of the season, with a £65m deal being agreed.
