Juventus Reportedly Set to Be Priced out of €50M Matthijs de Ligt Transfer

Juventus will reportedly consider alternatives to Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt, with the Italian champions said to be concerned they will be priced out of signing the defender.

According to Romeo Agresti of Goal, while there is interest in the Dutch international from the Bianconeri, they are unsure about parting with the kind of money that would make a deal feasible. Ajax want in excess of €50 million (£43 million) before agreeing to sell their star defender, it's added.

Juventus are said to have been ready to rival the likes of Manchester City and Barcelona in pursuit of the centre-back, with talks reportedly held between the Serie A side and De Ligt's agent Mino Raiola.
