Juventus in De Ligt talks

By Football Italia staff

Juventus are already in talks for Matthijs de Ligt, reports suggest, but Ajax are demanding €60-70m.

The Dutch international is one of the hottest prospects in Europe, and was awarded Tuttosport’s ‘Golden Boy’ this week.

Barcelona and Manchester City are keen to sign him, but Juve gave him a tour of Allianz Stadium last summer and have good relations with his agent, Mino Raiola.

According to Tuttosport, the Bianconeri are already in talks with the Ajax directors to try and do a deal for next summer.

Andrea Agnelli, Fabio Paratici and Pavel Nedved, who had Raiola as an agent during his playing career, are said to be in talks with Ajax director general Edwin van der Sar, a former Juventus player.

However, the Dutch club are said to be asking for €60-70m, and Juventus will not want to engage in a bidding war.
