Ajax’s Tough Negotiations with Juventus Regarding Matthijs de Ligt

DBasia.news –  Ajax Amsterdam and Juventus are still negotiating regarding the transfer of Matthijs de Ligt. Reportedly, according to Tuttosport, the two teams are priced at 20 million euros or approximately Rp. 319 billion from the price desired by Ajax.

Juventus became the only club left in the race for Matthijs de Ligt. Previously, De Ligt had been targeted by a number of other champions such as PSG and Barcelona.

Barcelona objected to the request of Matthijs de Ligt’s agent. While the player assesses Juventus’ prestige is greater than PSG.

Moreover, Juventus took advantage of the closeness with Matthijs de Ligt’s agent, Mino Raiola. Incidentally, Raiola was the agent of the Juventus Vice President, Pavel Nedved, while still playing.

Juventus had a personal agreement with Matthijs de Ligt. Now, La Vecchia Signora only needs to complete the transfer process with Ajax.

Juventus also launched an offer worth 67 million euros for Ajax. This amount can still increase to 13 million euros depending on the appearance of Matthijs de Ligt.

However, Ajax rejected the offer. De Godenzoenen requested 87 million euros in funds to be willing to release Matthijs de Ligt to Juventus.

Ajax made Virgil van Dijk’s transfer to Liverpool a reference. At present, Van Dijk is the most expensive defender when purchased for 84.5 million euros.
