"Ajax" confirmed "Juventus" interest in M. de Ligt.

Matthijs de Ligt entered the pages of UEFA Champions League history on Wednesday evening - becoming the youngest captain in the knockout stage.

The 19-year-old Dutchman's debut in the quarterfinal did not go as planned - Madrid's "Real" celebrated victory after a tough battle with a score of 2:1.

The media noticed that European giants' scouts arrived in Amsterdam to watch the match, focusing their attention on the promising defender. Currently, three clubs - "Barcelona", "Juventus", and "Bayern" - are vying for his signature.

According to Ajax's general director Edwin van der Sar, "Juventus" has shown serious interest in the defender, valued at least 70 million euros.

"Will de Ligt move to Juventus? I can only say that there is only one team in Italy that wants him," said the legendary goalkeeper.

"But I really do not know if he will go to Juventus," added E. van der Sar.
