Juventus plan to 'steal' De Ligt from Barcelona

It's become ever clearer than Matthijs De Ligt will move away from Juventus this summer, with his qualities such that several top European clubs are circling him

Barcelona seemed to be leading the race to sign him, and are ready to offer 70 million euros for the defender. Journalist Joep Schreuder, of 'NOS', has recently reported that a move to Barcelona would be the Dutchman's priority, but that a move to Juventus could still be on the table.

One thing the Catalan club hold in their favour is that they have already signed De Ligt's close friend Frenkie De Jong. However, this signing has also damaged the club's finances, and it would appear that Juventus could potentially have more money at their disposal this summer. And both 'Vecchia Signora' and 'Sport' have recently reported that the Italian club are prepared to do anything to land the defender.
