#1 Juventus closing in on a €70m deal for de Ligt

de Ligt is apparently very close to joining Juventus

The biggest news of the day involves Matthijs de Ligt and Juventus' never ending pursuit of the Ajax Skipper. After weeks of speculation, it finally seems that all the efforts put in by the Serie A Champions is finally bearing fruit.

Juventus are reportedly close to a €70m deal for the Dutchman, whose future is still in the balance. PSG had emerged as the front runners for his signature in recent weeks, but all that seems to have changed now. Juventus have reportedly convinced de Ligt to make the move to Turin, by offering him a huge contract worth £15-20m a year!

The main reason for this turn around could be the relentless work of the Juventus Sporting Director, Fabio Paratici. Sky Sports Italia have also hinted at growing confidence in the Juventus camp regarding the signing of de Ligt, but have stopped short of confirming a deal.

The final result can be expected in the coming few days, as Paratici steps up his efforts to secure a deal as soon as possible.
