Juventus advances in poker for de Ligt

The transfer poker around super talent Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax Amsterdam is still not decided. According to information from SOCCERSCORE and Goal, Italy’s record champion Juventus Turin is now heading ahead and is now in good spirits to contract the central defender for the new season.

The Bianconeri have submitted a new contract offer to de Ligt and the Ajax captain is open for a transfer to the A series.

70 million will go to Amsterdam, and in the next few days there will be another meeting between the two clubs.

Meanwhile, Juve is in daily contact with de Ligt’s advisor Mino Raiola to take the lead in the race for the services of the Dutch international.

The toughest competitor is Ligue 1 champion Paris Saint-Germain. In the past two weeks there has been a regular exchange between PSG and de Ligt, but the 19-year-old has not yet accepted the offer from the French capital.

For a long time, the most likely option was to switch de Ligts to FC Barcelona, but now the tide has turned. FC Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Manchester City will only be given chances as outsiders.

De Ligt’s contract with Ajax runs until 2021, but he is certain to leave the double winner this summer for a top European club.
