Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt decides next move

Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt is ready to announce his next move.

A target for PSG, Manchester United and Barcelona, De Ligt has been swayed by Juventus.

De Telegraaf says De Ligt is closing on a switch to Turin.

It's claimed that after failing to reach a deal with Barcelona in contract negotiations, not wanting to miss out on Champions League football at Old Trafford and similarly not wanting to move to Ligue 1 with PSG - despite De Ligt and his girlfriend being shown around the city by PSG management - the player and his agent, Mino Raiola, have turned to the eight-in-a-row Italian champions.

Raiola has strong ties with the Turin club, and has been a key component in a number of their dealings in recent years.

As such, sporting director Fabio Paratici is now set to thrash out a deal with Ajax and is looking to seal a deal at around £62million.
