Recently, Juventus defender De Ligt has been transferring from the sidelines, first of all, Manchester United, British sports media reported that Tenhag is not satisfied with the level of Manchester United's backline at this stage, so he hopes to be able to win his old de Ligt smoothly, after all, under Tenhag, De Ligt can be said to have become famous under Tenhag. In addition, Barcelona also hope to buy the Dutch defender and use him to partner Araujo to form a new defensive line.
First of all, for Manchester United, in fact, the team's problem is not entirely in the defense, in addition to Maguire, the performance of other centre-backs is indeed not too bad performance, Varane's ability is absolutely needless to say, Lindelof has at least seen progress this season, so Manchester United's transfer focus this summer is still on the back, as long as there is a world-class back to help the team solve the problem, the pressure on the defense is not so great, so the rumors of Manchester United seeking to buy De Ligt are actually not very true.
As for Barcelona, it is undoubtedly true that they are looking for a capable defender, after all, this season under the coaching of Xavi, the team is undoubtedly in the right direction, but Juventus this season they are not good, although Allegri returned to coaching, but in fact, the team did not get a good start, at this stage they are only successfully qualified for the Champions League, next season Juventus management will definitely ask Allegri to play results, at this critical moment, How could Uncle Lu casually let the main players leave?
Moreover, Juventus are not a team that is short of money, and the transfer fee for De Ligt is not a huge amount for them, and with this money they have to find a replacement for De Ligt, so Juventus definitely does not want to promote the transaction.
In addition, Juventus' current two major centre-backs are not small, Chiellini is 37 years old, Bonucci is 34 years old, the team's defense is in the transition period, there is no doubt that De Ligt is an important candidate for the handover, so at this level, Juventus will not let go of this Dutch defender, unless De Ligt himself applies for a transfer, but the Dutchman is not stupid, Juventus in time, he is the big guy of the team, and he has a lot of salary. If he goes to Manchester United and Barcelona, he has to start all over again, so why bother?
For De Ligt, he has a well-established foothold in Serie A, and he has a certain amount of playing time in the Dutch national team, so why should he jump out of his comfort zone?
