De Ligt has admitted he will leave Ajax but will think about his decision on holiday.
“I still do not know what my heart says, I have been concentrated all the time in Ajax and in the national team,” he told Mundo Deportivo.
“Now in my vacations I will be able to think about it and decide what I am going to do with my future.”
When asked about joining Barcelona and why he was thinking about his options De Ligt explained he was uncertain of the timing.
He added: “Because maybe it's not the time yet, it's something I have to think about and decide during my vacations, nothing more.”

But the world is likely to learn De Ligt’s decision sooner rather than later because of his agent Mino Raiola.
Raiola was handed a worldwide transfer ban for three months which was set to end ended after the Premier League window closed on Thursday, August 8.
But the Court of Arbitration for Sport froze the agent’s sanctions with a full decision expected at the beginning of next month.
Raiola is allowed to continue working until the outcome is decided.
