5 high-profile transfers that could happen this month

#4 Matthijs de Ligt to Juventus:

Current club: AFC Ajax

Estimated Transfer fee: €75 million

Portugal v Netherlands - UEFA Nations League Final

At just 19 years of age, Matthijs de Ligt is regarded as one of the most sought-after defenders in world football. The Dutch centre-back had a phenomenal season with Ajax, leading them to a domestic double and the UEFA Champions League semifinals. The defender is open to a move away from Ajax this summer, and many clubs are desperate for his signature.

Matthijs de Ligt has been linked to every major European club this summer, but it seems like the player's transfer saga is finally coming to an end. The players looked set to join Barcelona back in May, but the two parties failed to agree on personal terms, which gave room for other clubs to enter the race.

And now, it seems like Juventus have won the race for the player and are very close to signing the highly-rated defender. He would cost around €75 million, which is an absolute bargain in today's market.

#Juventus are working with Ajax to finalize the deal for Matthijs de Ligt. The agreement is getting closer. Advanced talks. ⚪️⚫️ #transfers #deLigt
