M. de Ligt wanted to leave the "Juventus" team © JumpStory

One of the best young European defenders, Dutchman Matthijs de Ligt, wanted to change clubs. According to "Tuttosport", the 22-year-old talent is seriously considering a move to London's "Chelsea" team. This information was also confirmed by Juventus director Maurizio Arrivabene. "These days, it is impossible to keep a player who wants to play elsewhere. We are talking about footballers who listen to the advice of agents or colleagues, rather than considering the team itself. It is difficult to retain a footballer, but all parties must remain satisfied. Whoever has money wins," explained the Italian. Juventus has been unable to extend the contract (valid until mid-2024) with the player who cost 85.5 million euros. Since 2019, de Ligt has scored 8 goals in 119 matches for the "Old Lady" team.
