Ajax Amsterdam’s defender, Matthijs de Ligt, has agreed personal terms with Juventus, his agent Mino Raiola said.
The 19-year-old Netherlands international captained Ajax to the Eredivisie title last season and was previously linked with Barcelona.
It is said the agreement is worth £10.8m per year but the clubs must now agree a transfer fee, with Ajax asking for £67.3m.
“Matthijs has agreed personal terms with Juve, we’re waiting for them to complete the agreement with Ajax soon,” Raiola told Dutch paper De Telegraaf.
“An arbitration case is out of the question for us, I advised Matthijs [on this], because it does not suit his style.
“The player only hopes that Juventus and Ajax will show the will to get out and that the deal is completed quickly,” Raiola added
