Ajax reportedly set €34 million price for Barcelona-linked Youri Baas
Barcelona are said to be considering the 23-year-old defender as they look to strengthen their defensive options in January.
Ajax would require a minimum offer of €34 million (£28.4 million) to sell defender Youri Baas in 2027, according to De Telegraaf. Barcelona are reportedly interested in the 23-year-old as they consider defensive additions for January.
Baas can operate in central defense or at left-back and is under contract until June 2028. His 17 appearances for Ajax in the 2026-27 season have produced two goals and one assist. Across his first-team career at the club, he has recorded seven goals and two assists in 108 appearances.
Injuries to Andreas Christensen, Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde have exposed Barcelona's limited defensive depth. Asked about possible January recruitment at the end of October, head coach Hansi Flick said he had discussed the matter with sporting director Deco, football coordinator Bojan and his coaching staff, but did not commit to a signing.
Real Madrid are also reportedly interested in Baas. Speaking to VoetbalPrimeur about the Barcelona links, the defender said he did not know where the reports originated but regarded the interest as a compliment. Barcelona have also been linked with Bayern Munich defender Jonathan Tah, although a January transfer is considered highly unlikely.
