Matthijs de Ligt He has been demonstrating above-average quality for several years, that which led him to burst onto the world stage at a very young age with the T-shirt of Ajax, being completely decisive to reach the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League 2018/2019. That’s when he generated a titanic fight for his services.
Several of the most important and powerful bands in the world dropped everything to hire him and finally he was Juventus who prevailed in the contest and took over the file from the native of Leiderdorp, the Netherlands, for the 2019/2020 season. The Dutchman was seduced by the dominance of the Vecchia Signora at the domestic level and by future ambitions.
However, those from Turin went from high to low and ended up collapsing in a forceful way, first with Andrea Pirlo sitting on the substitute bench and then also with the presence of an old acquaintance of the house like Massimiliano Allegri, who still could not straighten the course. That is why De Ligt began to analyze his future.
Now, at 22 years of age and with a clear and forceful maturity, De Ligt, who is preparing to represent his country’s team at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, does not see a transfer with bad eyes. And the truth is that, just like three years ago, suitors are the ones that are left over, although there is one of them who seems more interested.
Chelsea charge

As reported by the media outlet ‘Sky Sports’ in the last few hours, Thomas Tuchel’s men will do everything possible to stay with De Ligt. It happens that they suffered the games of Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen at zero cost, so the central zone of the defense was extremely weakened thinking about the next season.
For several months now, Chelsea has been closely following in the footsteps of Jules Kounde, a French central marker for Seville who is also very interested in teams like Manchester United and Barcelona. In any case, the difficulties in closing this pass led him to look for alternatives since improving this sector is an absolute priority.
It is not a minor detail that De Ligt, who accumulates eight annotations and two assists after 117 official commitments with Juventus, has a termination clause of €120 million in the entity of the city of Turin. However, the Vecchia Signora would agree to transfer it in exchange for 100 million of said currency.
