Europe's most sought-after defender Matthijs de Ligt is poised to join Paris Saint-Germain with rivals Manchester United and Barcelona failing to come close to matching the French club's offer of £17million-a-year.
De Ligt, 19, has been chased by all of Europe's leading clubs after earning rave reviews in Ajax's run to the Champions League semi-finals but PSG have blown everyone out the water with their mouth-watering salary.
The teenager also sees the French league as a logical next step up after playing in Holland with time on his side before he plays in the Premier League or La Liga.
