Former Juventus man, Nicola Legrottaglie insists Matthijs de Ligt doesn’t fit in at the club, and they should allow him to leave.
The defender is a mainstay in their current team, but he is also the envy of so many European clubs.
Juve has him tied down to a deal until 2024, but they want to get him on a longer-term deal.
Talks have been held between both parties, but the former Ajax captain wants to leave the club instead.
Juve wants to keep him, but they might be forced to sell if he refuses to sign a contract extension.
Legrottaglie doesn’t think the club should do all it can to retain him. He said, as quoted by Football Italia: “I always liked him in terms of his characteristics, but I don’t think he ever really fit in at Juventus. I never saw him be a leader, from the outside it seemed as if he was not quite part of the group.
“He never really did everything he could to make the teammates love him.”
Juve FC Says
De Ligt has been a significant contributor to our performances since he has been at the club, and we have to give him credit for what he has done so far.
As a young player, he would want to try a new challenge, and we probably just have to accept that and allow him to leave now.
I kinda got that feeling as well. Either way he will leave.
Amazing!
This is a guy, who doesn’t & never has shown any love for the club, a guy who shows no loyalty to a club, that treats him execptionel well (incl. gives him more money than legend Dybala).
And people aren’t angry at him…
It makes no sense…
Whats a matter with you! Angry? What are you child. Do these guys pay your bills. The day i take this shit that seriously is the day these idiots pay me for the stress. Its a sport. Entertainment. Not something to get ulcers for. First off as i have said anyone who thought this guy was here for the long run is delusional. There is a reason why he always looked out of place because didnt want to commit. He was always with one foot in and one out. He only came to improve him game and learn from chiellini. So relax. And please, please stop calling Dybala a legend. LEGEND is a powerful word. One that should only be left for someone like buffon, chiellini or de piero who spent years with the team. Or even Zidane, Baggio, and Nedved, because they won balon dor’s while on the team. Rossi as well. Gaetano scearea, gentile, Zoff, and obviously platini. Dybala had a solid 6 years. With no european trophies and no individual trophies. One time serie a player of year. If there is another word i word use it to describe him but legend is reserved for true legends. Its a disgrace to call platini a legend if you dyballa what too.
Its disgrace to call platini a legend if you also call dybala one too
Just sell him.
