Barcelona and Juventus are reportedly ready to go head to head for the signature of Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch during next summer's transfer window.

Gravenberch only turned 18 in May but has already represented Ajax on 19 occasions, contributing four goals and three assists in the process.

The 18-year-old was a key contributor to his side's 13-0 league win over VVV-Venlo on Saturday, while he played the full 90 minutes against Liverpool in the Champions League last week.

According to Tuttosport, both Barca and Juve are huge admirers of the Netherlands Under-21 international and are prepared to battle for his signature in 2021.

Gravenberch, who came through the youth system at Ajax, only signed a new three-year contract with Erik ten Hag's team in June.

Barca and Juve will meet in the group stages of the Champions League on Wednesday night.
