Juventus no longer rule out selling De Ligt

Maurizio Arrivabene, executive director of Juventus, left the door open to a possible departure of the Dutch defender Matthijs De Ligt, with a contract in force until 2024, one of the names that are making the most noise at this start of the transfer market.

“Today it is impossible to keep a player who wants to leave. But it’s always a question of numbers, it’s not that if someone wants to leave you go and say: ‘please have a seat’. It is difficult to keep a player, but from the negotiation table the three parties have to get up satisfied. That yes: The one that has the money, he wins”, affirmed Arrivabene in an interview with Tuttosport.

In Italy the continuity of De Ligt is not taken for granted in the ‘bianconero’ group. Chelsea, which has been left without defender Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid) and without Andreas Christensen (heading for Barcelona), is one of the teams, according to the Italian and British media, most interested in taking over the services of the 22-year-old center-back to cover casualties on that line.

De Ligt has been a fixture for his coach, Massimiliano Allegri, and after the departure of Giorgio Chiellini to the American MLS, he is called to be his substitute as leader of the defense of the Turin team.
