Matthijs de Ligt will undergo his Juventus medical on Wednesday before finalising a blockbuster transfer to the Serie A giants, claims Gianluca Di Marzio.
Juventus have been locked in talks with Ajax for a number of weeks after agreeing personal terms with the Netherlands international.
The Old Lady have finally agreed a fee with Ajax, believed to be in the region of £67.7m, paving the way for De Ligt to start his medical with the club.
De Ligt has been heavily linked with a move to a number of European giants this summer but Juventus have seemingly won the race for his signature.
The 19-year-old is poised to become Juventus’ seventh signing of the summer and take their expenditure beyond the £100m mark.
Paris Saint-Germain were considered the favourites to sign De Ligt this summer but they could not agree to Mino Raiola’s demand of £150m release clause in his clients contract.
Due to Ligue 1 regulations players are not allowed to have release clauses, which effectively ended PSG’s pursuit of the Ajax captain.
Barcelona and Manchester United were also chasing De Ligt’s signature but were priced out of a move due to his staggering wage demands, which are reportedly more than £300,000-a-week.
De Ligt emerged as the hottest prospect in Europe last season after captaining Ajax to a domestic double and the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The Netherlands international finished the 2018/19 campaign in the WhoScored Team of the Season in both the Champions League and Eredivisie.
