Barcelona are reportedly still keen on signing Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax, with talks planned for early next week.

Barcelona have renewed their interest in highly-rated Ajax duo Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt, according to a report.

The Catalan giants are believed to face competition from Manchester City, Juventus, Liverpool and Barcelona for both players.

Ajax are said to value versatile central midfielder De Jong at £66m and centre-back De Ligt at around £57.5m, with both players in high demand ahead of the January window.

Mundo Deportivo suggests that Barca will step up their pursuit of the talented Dutch pair next week by holding talks with the players' representatives, on the recommendation of manager Ernesto Valverde.

The report claims that discussions will take place in Nyon on Monday when the two sides come together for the Champions League draw.

Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman recently advised De Ligt to leave Ajax and further his career elsewhere.
