Juve beat Man Utd to De Jong?

By Football Italia staff

Nigel de Jong won’t renew with Milan, but Juventus could beat Manchester United to the free agent.

The midfielder will be out of contract at the end of the season and it seems certain he will not put pen to paper on a new deal.

For months it has been rumoured De Jong will join Manchester United, where he’ll reunite with Dutch tactician Louis van Gaal.

However, calcionews24.com claim Juventus are interested too and are preparing their own proposal.

It would not be a new move for the Bianconeri, who famously picked up Andrea Pirlo as a free agent when his contract with Milan expired.

Here too it would be a reunion, as De Jong worked with Coach Max Allegri at San Siro.
