Beppe Bozzo, who has represented Antonio Cassano, insists Matthijs de Ligt has gotten better at Juventus, and the Bianconeri must sell him for a good fee of around 100m euros.
The defender joined them in 2019, and he has been a key member of their first team since that time.
Several clubs across Europe are eyeing a transfer for him, but Juve wants to keep him.
Because his current deal expires in 2024, Juve must get him on a new contract or sell him this summer.
Clubs will see them as being desperate to make some money from his sale, and they will be keen to add him to their squad for a low fee.
However, Bozzo believes he has become better at Juve and should leave for around 100m euros.
He said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb: “Juve paid him 75 million in the summer of 2019, considering that in three years he has not depreciated, they cannot sell it for less than 100 million and preferably without the inclusion of counterparts.”
Juve FC Says
De Ligt is worth as much as 100m euros if you consider how inflated the transfer market has become.
The defender has been doing great work for us so far, and any club that adds him to their squad would be lucky to have him.
But this summer is probably the only time we can command close to that fee, because he would have just a year left on his deal in the next one.
Its going to get done this summer. He wants out. €100 million should be the least they get but these teams will push for a cheaper deal because they know Juve has no choice. If its not now, its in the winter or next summer for even less. These guys are all unloyal idiots. It should not have leaked that he wants out. And he should have signed an extension with no change in figures with the secret knowledge and agreement that he would be sold this transfer window. But no sides are loyal to each other anymore.
He was never bought as a long term solution. Selling now makes sense. I believe that in a good squad no player is irreplaceable. The question is can we get good money from his sale and can we use the funds wisely? If the answer is yes then it’s a great move by the club.
