However, the 19-year-old, according to a report by Sky Italia, has agreed a personal agreement with Juventus, as the Italian Champions are getting near to hire his services.
The Dutch International had a successful season with Ajax, as under his captaincy, the club won a domestic double. Moreover, he was also impressive with the National side by reaching to the final of UEFA Nations league, but lost the final against Portugal.
De Ligt attracted the interests of major clubs in Europe including Manchester United, PSG, Juventus and Barcelona. All of them promised hefty payments for the 19-year-old, as he is the most exciting prospect this summer.
