Since Raiola entered the picture I have been saying he will end up at Juve. Still think it will happen.

Barcelona confirmed. He posted on his Facebook page. This stings but on to the next one

He's pretty much confirmed the move to Barca on his Fb page. Show's over lads
Seems like all kinds of fake. Like what a teen Barca fan would dream of him saying.
It does, but the account has 100k+ followers, I've just checked. I hope it's a fan account.
He literally just now said he needs to cool off and think about his choice.
Made in December and based in Morocco no Dutch posts only English.
Thank you for clarifying. I'll delete the post to remove any misconceptions.
Hahaha that’s hilarious if it’s true.
But I think it’s his real page...
Don’t think it’s down to him to make the ‘announcement’. Think his chosen club will want to manage that aspect. Besides, wherever he goes there will still be formalities to complete, such as a medical. Good marketing though to build the brand De Ligt - clothing range next?
Why should they change the title based on the drivel that's said around here?
Love it!
What does it all mean ?
Him signing for Barca is going to be drawn out even longer isnt it. 
De Ligt confirming Ronaldo asked him to join Juve after the match.
Was just about to post this. If Ronaldo vouches for you, you know you're a star in the making.
Media could not be played.
I think he'll go to City, the pull of working with Pep will appeal to him. After Stones horror show for England I thnk they'll push for him. Pep won't trust Stones or Otamendi as first choice CB.
I estimate our chances of signing him to be less than 10%. Frenkie and Ronaldo whispering in his ear pretty much excludes United.
He keeps saying game time will be important. Would Juve or Barca not offer that right off the bat. Umtiti and Chiellini (34) are his prime contenders for this.
Serie A is a romantic choice for a defender and Barcelona is the holy grail for all Dutch.

You do realize that managers who watch their players day in, day out in training and countless matches are not gonna let a player go because of one single bad game, don't you?
This is getting tedious, he would be a great signing no doubt but I am done with his kind (Griezman). The board should focus on players looking for a challenge and who are decisive not bush beaters. I would rather a snub than this ride along nonsense. Starting to dislike the fella ala Griezman.
All this media briefings from Barca, Psg and Juve about how they are making new offers, putting their players to publicly ask De Ligt to sign for them while there is nothing coming from United. This can only mean one thing, he is ours. Letting these fools embarrass themselves, making United fans sad and giving up, only to them boooom announce the deal. We have a good PR department you have to say.
I admire your optimism
This. We need more of this.
I cannot help but agree to a certain degree. The lad is very well sought after and agreeably so he needs time to figure out because becoming a star CB at clubs like United, Barcelona & Juventus etc are a dream come true. I just hope he has a photo of himself nearby with an old United top with Stam or Ferdinand on the back nearby however having the likes of Ronaldo telling you to come and replacing the likes of Chellini is hard to knock back.
Not when you're being offered 30% more elsewhere. Players went elsewhere when we were in for them and in our prime.
Hazard, Douglas Costa...lots of others.
Yes, which is why Pep dropped Stones like a sack of rocks last season.
John Stones is shit. If they want to compete they need a new CB. They absolutely cannot start next season with that liability in defence.
Eh? Stones played 24 matches in the league this season and City seemed to do fine seeing as how they won the league. They will be signing a new CB, but it'll be to replace Kompany, not Stones.
I suspect for a massive amount of their games you could slot some goon from redcafe into their line up and they'd still win
Precisely. So it'd make no sense for them to be splashing cash on trying to replace Stones.
ABBA has a song for that image.
Go on.
Mamma mia?
I’ll give you a hint it’s not “One of Us”
He's not coming to OT. Dont give a flying feck where he goes.
Should I laugh or cry?
As long as it's not in this country.
Does Your Mother Know That You’re Out (in her hair).
If Barca can't guarantee him playing time, then I think he'll end up elsewhere.
Lay all your love on me marginally beating Money Money Money
Yeah I'd love to see the conversation between Raiola and the PSG chairman when Raiola tells him De Ligt wants out.
