Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt has been linked with a number of clubs following impressive campaign with the Holland side.
The interest of Barcelona and Manchester United has been known for some time but Liverpool , Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are also among the interested clubs.
The Reds have played down their interest in the Dutchman but are said to be the biggest rivals to Barcelona for his signature. But it is stated Manchester United now face missing out on the teenager as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer considers other options. Raiola has reportedly increased his wage demands for the defender but Barca hope the prospect of playing for the club will see them win the race for his signature.
