The Dutch defender has not renewed and is aiming for a transfer to the Premier League, but the Juventus club is not willing to give discounts
Waiting to welcome Paul Pogba back to Continassa, at home Juventus you have to understand what will become of it Matthijs De Ligt. The managing director Maurizio Arrivabene and the director of the technical area, Federico Cherubini met in Forte dei Marmi for a market summit which also discussed the malaise expressed by the Dutch defender through the lawyer Pimenta. Behind the restlessness of De Ligt there is the pressing of Chelseaalso recorded by Juventus who have decided on a strategy: he will leave only for a cash offer and responding to the release clause.

Translated: whoever wants De Ligt it will have to be presented at the Juventus headquarters with an offer of 115 million euros and if there are to be counterparts, it will be Juventus to choose. It will certainly not be Timo Werner as proposed by the Chelsea in the first approach to the negotiation.
The Dutch defender has his contract expiring in 2024 and the rumors about the renewal have not led to any meeting points, not even informal ones. Also for this De Ligt he made it known that he was ready to change the air and Juventus itself, which was expecting a step from the player, began to consider letting the center go. Not under all conditions though.
There are two market prospects far from Turin: the Chelsea in Tuchel and the Manchester United mentor De Ligt, Erik ten Hag. The Blues must rebuild the defense after the farewell of Christensen and Rudiger, but the Bianconeri know this and can hold on waiting for an important increase in the offer with important counterparts and a fair evaluation.
United, on the other hand, could enter a game that would make Juventus smile, raising the price that – came with an official offer around the 80-90 million euros overall – would change the scenario and not just a little.
