As usual during the transfer window, rumors are multiplying around Paris Saint-Germain. This Tuesday, he finds himself again involved in the Matthijs De Ligt file, a 22-year-old central defender whose contract with Juventus Turin ends in 2024 and whom Paris had tried to recruit in 2019 when he left Ajax Amsterdam for Italy. It’s the Corriere dello Sport who mentioned it.
Indeed, the Italian newspaper explains that there is a discussion to extend De Ligt’s contract, but that it is still far from successful. However, Juventus would be ready to make an effort on the Dutch international’s salary with a new contract until 2026. The concern would come in particular from the fact that the player would like his release clause, which must go from 125 to 140 million euros next season, to be reduced to around 70-80 million euros.
Several clubs are on the lookout, with PSG, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and FC Barcelona mentioned. Nothing is impossible, except that we necessarily remain very careful since there is nothing concrete or sure. Especially since PSG is often cited by foreign media to spice up a file. Nothing says there will indeed be an offer let alone a deal. In recent days, it is rather a question of interest to Milan Skriniar (27 years old, Inter Milan) in defense, without being sure that it is progressing either.
