THE BALL – “When I arrived at Juventus there was ambition, there was Ronaldo” (Italy)

After shining at Ajax, Matthijs De Ligt had a short spell at Juventus. Purchased in 2019 for € 85 million, the Dutch central defender never managed to win and ended up leaving for Bayern.

In conversation with the television NOSDe Ligt hypothesized some disappointment with the decisions made by the Italian officers and that this ultimately led to the exit.

When I arrived at Juventus there was ambition. There were Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuaín, they wanted to win the Champions League. But then they felt that it was necessary to renew the team and the situation began to be different, that desire ceased to exist, “said the 23-year-old.

In total, De Ligt made 117 appearances for Juventus. He has won a Scudetto and an Italian Cup.
