However, their struggles in the league may put a dent on their stellar performance in the  Champions league.

Legit.ng highlights 3 players regularly linked with a move that could propel them to greater heights.

3. Frenkie de Jong

There are 2 big youth talents who have been receiving plaudits at Ajax. One is Matthijs de Ligt and the other is Frenkie de Jong.

The 21 year old has shone for Ajax in midfield and defence last season and prior to that won the Juliper League?s ?Talent of the season? award.

Due to his versatility, he could be used as a long-term successor to Sergio Busquets but also as an option at centre-back.

2. Matthijs de Ligt

Ajax have been a conveyor belt for youth football in Holland. Of all the talented young Dutch footballers, de Ligt is the most highly rated.

The Dutch team has been blessed with strong centre-backs over the years. Despite this, the 19-year-old made his international debut in 2017.

If Barcelona?s interest is real then they may need to act fast as the youngster already has a long list of potential suitors, one of them being Manchester United.

1. Paul Pogba

The highest profile of the 3 players linked, Pogba?s star quality is undeniable.

However, the 25-year-old has struggled to find his best form at Manchester United.

Barcelona?s interest might stem from 2 things ? the tremendous ability shown at Juventus and France, and the player is about to enter his prime years as a footballer.

Throw in the player?s marketability and potential for shirt sales then it?s an even more attractive proposition for the Blaugranes.

Legit.ng previously reported that Manchester United star Paul Pogba has agreed five-year deal worth £100 million to join Barcelona ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline.

Barcelona had offered Manchester United Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes plus cash to sign Pogba which the Red Devils rejected.

But according to the latest report coming from UK Mirror, Paul Pogba who won the 2018 FIFA World Cup trophy with France, has agreed personal terms to join the Spanish champions
