Juventus still not giving up on Matthijs de Ligt, Serie A Champions on high alert after Pogba hints at departure and more Juventus Transfer News: June 17, 2019

#1 Juventus still not giving up on Matthijs de Ligt

Portugal v Netherlands - UEFA Nations League Final

Matthijs de Ligt's future is a big secret right now and it is anybody's guess where the Dutchman would end up in the new season. He was first thought to be destined to sign for Barcelona, but since then, Manchester United, Juventus and Paris Saint Germain have all been in the news. PSG were reportedly the front runners for this signature, but it looks like the Serie A Champions are not giving up on de Ligt just yet.

Juventus still believe that the Dutchman can be persuaded to make a move to Turin. They understand that the task at hand is very tough, but not impossible. As such, Fabio Paratici and Pavel Nedved are in continued talks with Mino Raiola for any possibilities to see the deal through.

The super agent wants the right club, and the right salary for his client, who is still just 20 years old and will only get better. And it is believed that Nedved and Paratici are arguing that Juventus can be the right club for de Ligt to develop into the best in the world in the next few years.
