Juventus defender Mattijs de Ligt is playing down interest from Barcelona.

De Ligt was a regular for Juve this season as they achieved a disappointing fourth-placed finish in Serie A and there have been suggestions the Old Lady may be open to cashing in on some players to help their finances.

Barcelona have a deal for Eric Garcia wrapped up and want to add another centre-back as well, but De Ligt says he knows nothing about the rumours linking him with the club.

"I don't know [about Barcelona's interest]," said De Ligt.

"It's not worth thinking about right now because there's nothing to say.

"No one has contacted me."
