Report: Juventus, Matthijs de Ligt Agree on Personal Terms

Juventus are close to completing the signing of Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax, with a bumper five-year deal awaiting the teenage prodigy in Turin.

After months of speculation regarding the center back's next career move, a move to La Vecchia Signora now looks to be imminent - quashing Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United's hopes of landing the Dutch star.

The latest, and perhaps definitive, update on De Ligt's future comes from Goal, who report that a €70m deal is on the verge of being signed, sealed and delivered.

The 19-year-old will sign a long-term deal with I Bianconeri, where he will earn around €12m per season, after tax.
