de Ligt proves himself to be one of the best defenders in the world in just 19 years of age

Juventus recently submitted a €65m bid(including €10m bonus) to the Eradivisie champion. Unfortunately, Ajax turned down the bid and wants a higher number offered.

Both and only PSG and Manchester United has returned to the chase with a €70m bid for the 19-year old.

French football expert Julien Laurens commented on de Ligt's pursue.

“I think there’s a chance where Ajax will lose a little bit of patience and say ‘hang on a minute, PSG agreed, Manchester United agreed," laurens told ESPN. "In that case we stop talking to you and De Ligt can choose between the clubs that we actually have an agreement in place."

“It’s not really in Ajax’s interest to waste a bit more time about De Ligt. They want the money in, they want for him to go, he was great for them but now he’s decided that he wants to go. They want that deal to happen, they won’t want to have to go back and forth in negotiations with Juventus or whoever else."

“So they might well say ‘do you know what, we already have an agreement in place with some clubs, we’re going to only focus on them clubs and De Ligt would have to choose between those clubs because you’re wasting our time."
