(ANSA) - Turin, July 17 - Dutch centre back and former Ajax
captain Matthijs de Ligt on Wednesday joined Juventus.
Super agent Mimmo Raiola called his 19-year-old client, who
impressed in the Amsterdam club's run to the Champions League
semi-finals, a mixture of Pavel Nedved and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Eight-time straight and reigning Italian champs Juve won the
race for his services ahead of Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain
and Manchester United.
De Ligt could cost the Bianconeri as much as 70 million euros
if all add-ons and bonus requirements are met, which is enough
to make him one of the most expensive defenders in the history
of football.
