Juventus Agree Terms With De Ligt

Juventus have agreed personal terms with defender Matthijs de Ligt ahead of his proposed move from Ajax, according to reports in Italy.

It is understood the Netherlands international has accepted a five-year contract offer which will see him earn €12m (£10.75m) a season with the Serie A champions.

A release clause will be included in his contract with Juve for around €150m (£135m).

Juventus will now start official talks with Ajax in an attempt to finalise the deal.

However, Paris Saint-Germain remain in the hunt for the 19-year-old and in contact with Ajax.

De Ligt is one of Europe’s most sought-after players after captaining Ajax to the Dutch league and cup double as well as the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.
