According to The Italian Sky Sports reporter and well-known transfer expert Di Marzio revealed in the live broadcast of the show, the defender De Ligt, who currently plays for Juventus, is seeking a transfer, and his next choice includes Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester United, in short, his contract extension with Juve is almost impossible.
Previously, De Ligt's agent, Rayola, said publicly in an interview that De Ligt was ready to take the next step. As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused strong disgust from Juve executives and fans.
De Ligt, currently 22, is on contract with the Bianconeri to expire in the summer of 2024, and Juve certainly don't want De Ligt to leave. At the beginning, the Dutch chose Juve in the face of multiple options, which gave Agnelli a great deal of confidence in rebuilding Juve's glory. To let go of De Ligt now is undoubtedly to declare from another angle that Agnelli's grand plan has failed.
After crisscross left Cristiano Ronaldo, Dybala's contract extension remained unannounced, and De Ligt sought a transfer, Agnelli seemed to really think about juve's future. Think of Agnelli, who just took over Juve, who was full of spirit, repairing the stadium, changing the team emblem, pushing a new jersey, and signing C Ronaldo. One by one, they are groundbreaking events. This makes the old woman who has been a veteran strong team but has been down for many years almost like a second spring. Attention and traffic that have never been received in the past few years have "soared" straight up.
The following summer, Juve were uncompromising in terms of reinforcements. Ramsey, Rabio, Pellegrini, Romero, De Ligt. Agnelli almost wrote his ultimate wish "Champions League champion" on his face.
De Ligt, the former Ajax captain, is almost already seen as the mainstay of the old woman's defensive line for the next 10 years. Now he is seeking to move to a higher platform, which is indeed a big enough blow for Juve up and down.
Perhaps from the beginning, De Ligt used Juve as a springboard, and Laiola never thought of letting De Ligt spend all his golden years at Juve. Juve are not selling at this stage, and it is very likely that in 2024 it will be watched as De Ligt leaves for free, which is the last thing Agnelli wants to see.
At present, defenders like De Ligt are difficult to find in the market, and Juve still have to plan as early as possible.
