Super agent Mino Raiola says Juventus director Pavel Nedved loves young defender Matthijs de Ligt.

Both men are clients of Raiola's and he revealed Nedved has big hopes for their young summer signing from Ajax.

He told Voetbal International: "We often feel, he (Nedved) is like a son to me.

"Pavel says this about De Ligt: the boy is even crazier than I was, he is a potential Ballon d'Or."

Raiola is adamant Juve is the best place for De Ligt.

He added: "Matthijs just wants to play football, he is not interested in money."
