#1 Juventus on high alert as De Ligt appears to snub Barcelona
Today's biggest news of the day involves another central defender linked with the Old Lady. Juventus have been put on a high alert after Matthijs de Ligt appeared to admit that the time was not right to join Barcelona just yet. The Dutchman's future continues to be a mystery and earlier we revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo had asked him to join Juventus. However, in a recent interview, De Ligt appeared to give a hint about his future
"It has been a spectacular season for me and my teams. The big clubs are interested in me? It is an honour, now I can think about it and decide my future.
"Money is not important. For me it is important to know if I can stand out a play a lot in the team I join. Barcelona? It would be nice to play with De Jong but I have to think about myself. I don't know when I'll decide, I'll take my time. Maybe it is not yet the time to join Barcelona."
So will De Ligt play alongside Ronaldo next season? Only time will tell.
