While Juventus fans are ecstatic with the arrivals of Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria, the club might be preparing to part ways with Matthijs de Ligt.
A major bidding war between the likes of Chelsea and Bayern Munich has ensued in recent days, while the player’s heart appears set on an exit.
The Dutchman still has a contract with the Bianconeri until 2024, but even the club prefers to settle for an early breakup rather than watching his value diminish due to an expiring contract.
However, the management has set a condition in order grant the defender his leave.
According to la Gazzetta dello Sport via ilBianconero, Juventus have asked de Ligt to be patient, as the club won’t sanction a sale before finding a capable replacement.
Federico Cherubini and company are currently searching the market for a new center back, and several interesting names have emerged as potential candidates.
Juve FC say
Following Giorgio Chiellini’s departure, losing de Ligt would leave Max Allegri’s with a depleted backline. Thus, it’s easy to understand the hierarchy’s logic behind the rumored condition.
Nonetheless. Juventus will have to accelerate the process, as the Dutchman’s suitors won’t wait forever, and they could end up resorting to other options on the market.

great defender, but also costs us 5-6 pens/season
it`s up to him to get bayern to pay.
If other teams want DE LIGT, they should respect his release clause, which stands at 110 million euros , if I am correct. JUVENTUS might wish to negotiate at 90 million euros ( NO PLAYER makeweight in the deal). But this is becoming ridiculous, and most unfair.
When JU. FORK OUT THE EFFIN MONEY. VE go for a player…PJANIC, HIGUAIN, DE LIGT, CHIESA, VLAHOVIC, they pay the effin MAX , but when other teams want our players they expect to get them on the cheap. FO other teams. You want DE LIGT? So be it
Cannot understand this at all. When Juventus FC move for a player, they pay the asking price……..PJANIC, HIGUAIN, DE LIGT, CHIESA, VLAHOVIC, but when other teams want our players they want them on a cheap, as if JUVENTUS are some kind of discount store or feeder team. FO other teams, pay the entire release clause , which stands at 110 million euros, JUVE might give you a great discount at 90 million you can have the GIT.
