Waiting for news on the Dybala front, the Juventus is also starting to work on the future of Matthijs de Ligt. The Dutch defender has a contract expiring in 2024 and a release clause of approx 120 million eurosbut the Juventus club would like to extend the agreement by a year to try to keep him in Turin a little longer, even though it is aware that it would be almost impossible to say no to a maxi offer from abroad.

The idea, in essence, is to protect themselves from a future sale of the 22-year-old from Leiderdorp or, even worse, from a free-transfer separation. If it’s goodbye, it’ll have to be big numbers. To persuade Mino Raiola to accept the renewal of his client, as reported Tuttosportthe company would also be willing to lower the current release clause, in order to make the tag more attractive. On the other hand, to lock up de Ligt with a further increase in the salary is currently utopia, since it is already the highest paid player of the squad (8 million net plus bonuses per season) and its sale could be the easiest way to raise cash and finance the next market sessions.

One goodbye already this summer the most concrete hypothesis remains, with Barcelona and Chelsea who have already made up for it, but the bianconeri would not disdain to hold on to their best defender for another year, who, moreover, is very well in Turin and has now carved out a role for himself. absolute protagonist in the eleven of Max Allegri. De Ligt has only missed 5 games by turnover this season, playing almost always 90 ‘and offering ample guarantees to the defense, especially in the last few outings. That is why his future, whatever it may be, cannot be faced too lightly.
