MATTHIJS DE LIGT put all transfer rumours to one side as he played with pigs on a beach in Barbados.

And by his side on the sun-kissed sands was stunning Wag AnneKee Molenaar - the pair holding and stroking the animals.

Aptly named Pig Beach, the island the couple were visiting is populated by feral pigs that love to play on the beach.

And while Dutch sensation De Ligt enjoyed his holidays, rumours persist that the 19-year-old is set to trot off to Juventus.

The Ajax defender looks set to spurn the advances of Manchester United and sign for Italian giants this summer if they raid the piggy bank.

De Ligt, who was instrumental in his side’s run to the Champions League semi-finals last term – has the pick of plenty of top European clubs this summer.

United have been harbouring a serious interest, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ready to chop his struggling stars - making strengthening his defence a priority.

SunSport revealed earlier this week that Barcelona are keeping tabs, while talks have been held with Juve.

But hoping to dispel any hogwash, Dutch paper De Telegraaf claim De Ligt, 19, has chosen his next club.

And the teen sensation is reportedly closing in on a move to Turin, although he is currently on holiday after taking part in the inaugural Uefa Nations League.

The report suggests that negotiations with Barca had reached a deadlock and so he looked elsewhere.
Paris Saint-Germain had also been in the hunt, but the player and his agent, Mino Raiola, were swayed by Juve - fresh from winning their eighth Serie A title on the trot.

It is thought a deal could reach as much as £62million which will see the teen really bring home the bacon on a bumper contract, as Juve look set to make a statement of intent in the transfer window.
