Barcelona, Man City & Bayern told 'insane' offers won't land De Jong & De Ligt

Barcelona, Manchester City and Bayern Munich have been advised to not waste their time lodging bids for Ajax starlets Frenkie de Jong, Matthijs de Ligt and Donny van de Beek. Goal revealed back in June that 21-year-old midfielder De Jong has emerged as a top target for those at Camp Nou. He is considered to be a useful addition for the present and future, with Barca seeking a natural successor to departed icon Andres Iniesta. De Ligt, meanwhile, has been attracting interest from La Liga, Premier League and Bundesliga champions, with Barca, City and Bayern eager to buy into the 18-year-old defender’s potential. Ajax, though, have no intention of parting with any prized assets and have informed a long list of suitors that “insane” offers will not see them relax that stance. The Eredivisie club’s sporting director, Marc Overmars, told De Telegraaf: "Frenkie de Jong, Donny van de Beek and Matthijs de Ligt are not for sale as far as we are concerned. "Not even for an insane amount. They should play about 40 games for Ajax first in 2018-19." Overmars added: "De Jong to Barcelona? He is not for sale. And I have communicated this to all parties involved. It's the same for Matthijs. "Clubs that are interested are free to come back next year. "Of course, Davinson Sanchez's move last year showed that it is not always easy to stand firm. But we have now reached a point where we simply say that we are not selling these players. "They are still only 19, 20 years old. I have told these players and their agents that a transfer after this season could be an option if the right offer comes in." It appears as though Barca, City and Bayern will have to turn their attention elsewhere if they wish to make additions with one eye on the future this summer. The door may, however, be opened to them in 12 months time if they are prepared to be patient and give developing talents another year to flourish in their homeland.

GW7 ONES TO WATCH;SEAN MORRISON

Sean Morrison (£4.9m) Cardiff City may not have started the season as strongly as they would have liked but they do possess a centre-half who is making an impact in both defence and attack. Morrison helped his side to clean sheets against Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town over Gameweeks 2 to 3. He followed that up with back-to-back assists against Arsenal and Chelsea. Major threat The 27-year-old boasted a fine record in last season's Championship. He scored seven goals and recorded a total of 50 shots on goal. Although he has yet to score this term, Morrison has carried a major threat for the Bluebirds. Chance creator No Cardiff player has bettered his totals of seven chances created and two big chances. A big chance is a situation where the player receiving the pass is expected to score. Morrison's aerial threat can be decisive against visitors Burnley this Sunday. He has won 37 headed duels this season, more than any other defender. Claret concess...
