The Dutch center-back has been dissatisfied with Juventus’ sporting project
His relationship with the ‘Vecchia Signora’ ends in 2024
The future of Mattijs De Ligt remains unknown. After Chiellini’s departure and Bonucci’s entry into the final stretch of his career, the Dutch center-back is called to take the reins of the ‘Vecchia Signora’ defense. However, he has not shown any signs of wanting to extend his relationship with the Turin team, which expires in June 2024.
De Ligt openly acknowledged that he is negotiating with his club, although his statements have not cleared up the doubts surrounding his future. “There are conversations between Juventus and me. Right now I am focused on my performance on the pitch, when the time comes I will decide whether to renew or look beyond“.
One of the main impediments for the central defender is Juventus’ sports project, less attractive than the day he signed his contract “I look at the sports project. Being fourth two years in a row is not enough, Juventus also know it. We have to take a step forward.”
The name of the Dutchman has sounded strongly as one of the possible reinforcements of Manchester United ahead of the next transfer market. Ten Hag needs to shore up the defense for his new project, and he would be delighted to enlist the services of one of his flagship players during his time at Ajax.
