Barcelona are reportedly monitoring Ajax defender Youri Baas as they continue exploring options to strengthen their defensive department ahead of upcoming transfer windows.
The 23-year-old Dutch defender has caught the attention of the Catalan giants, with his profile particularly interesting because of his ability to operate as a left-footed centre-back. Reports also suggest that Baas is keen on making the move to the Spotify Camp Nou. 👀
However, getting a deal done will not be straightforward.
Ajax are reportedly demanding at least €34 million for their defender, despite his estimated market value being around €17 million. The Dutch club are also reluctant to lose him, meaning Barcelona could face difficult negotiations.
For Barça, the biggest obstacle remains their financial situation. Paying almost double his estimated market value could be a difficult decision, especially with other positions also requiring investment.
Barcelona clearly have their eyes on defensive reinforcements, but will they be willing to meet Ajax’s demands for Baas?
