Transfer: De Ligt finally agrees five-year deal with new club

Ajax captain, Matthijs de Ligt, has agreed personal terms with Juventus as his move to Serie A edges ever closer, Goal reports.

The 19-year-old has attracted interest from the likes of Barcelona, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

But De Ligt now looks set to join the Serie A champions after finalising personal terms worth £10.75million a season over five years.

Although Juve are yet to agree a fee with Ajax for De Ligt, his proposed five-year contract is set to include a release clause worth around £135m.

His move will be finalised in the coming days, with the fee expected to be at least £62m.

De Ligt has developed into one of the most sought-after players in Europe, after an impressive breakout season, in which he led a young Ajax side to within moments of the Champions League final.
