The Ajax skipper is rated among the top class defenders currently in Europe and he's been linked with various big names over the past transfer windows.
Liverpool were linked with a summer move for De Ligt, after heavy injury crisis that faced Jurgen Klopp's back four in recent months.
And now, The 19-year-old has hinted a Liverpool switch that would see him partner with Holland team-mate Virgil van Dijk at club level could be on the cards in the summer.
"Virgil (van Dijk) is a player who has experience in the top leagues," he said.
"Of course, you would want to learn from him. It’s very helpful playing alongside him in the Dutch team.
"It could happen (De Ligt joining him at Liverpool). He plays for Liverpool, a good club, but I’m not focused on them.
"I focus on Ajax and then I’ll see where I end up."
Barcelona are also keen on landing De Ligt in the summer after having the signature of his team-mate Frenkie de Jong guaranteed for next season.
