DBasia.news – Serie A giant Juventus is reportedly unwilling to sell their young defender Matthijs de Ligt to other clubs in the transfer window this summer.
Matthijs de Ligt led Ajax Amsterdam to become one of the dark horses in the Champions League last season. The Eredivisie deputy pitched to the semifinals before getting rid of Tottenham Hotspur.
At that time, much of the spotlight was on Matthijs de Ligt. De Ligt appeared strong in the back sector and became a leader in the field.
Not surprisingly, elite European clubs queued to get De Ligt’s. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Barcelona and Juventus are the clubs interested with De Ligt.
Juventus finally came out as winners after being willing to disburse 75 million euros. Juventus steps increasingly smooth because it has good relations with De Ligt’s agent, Mino Raiola.
However, the 20-year-old defender did not immediately perform the best performance. De Ligt had difficulty adapting to Italian football. In fact, in some games the defender made a mistake that led to a goal.
De Ligt’s game began to improve along with the opportunities given. It also cannot be separated from the absence of Giorgio Chiellini because of an injury.
However, the issue of Juve’s desire to sell Matthijs de Ligt was widely heard. Reportedly, Barcelona and Real Madrid are ready to accommodate the defender.
However, Tuttosport reported that Juventus had never really intended to sell Matthijs de Ligt. La Vecchia Signora still has trust in De Ligt. Moreover, the player’s contract continues until June 2024.
So far, Matthijs de Ligt has played 27 matches with Juventus in various events. From that opportunity, De Ligt incised two goals.
