In a deal worth £67.5m that includes bonuses, the Netherlands centre-back, Matthijs de Ligt, will be joining Juventus from Ajax on Wednesday. On Tuesday night, the 20-year-old will arrive in Turin and, thereafter, undergoes medicals on Wednesday.
De Ligt's agent, Mino Raiola, and the Serie A champions have reached an agreement in which the defender will sign a five-year deal that's said to worth £10.8 per year plus bonuses.
This explains why De Ligt wasn't part of the squad that travelled to Australia for the club's preseason camp as he's said to be awaiting a possible transfer.
