Super agent Mino Raiola could be the key to Matthijs de Ligt’s next club as the Ajax defender spoke about a move to Juventus.

“[A move to Juventus] could happen, but there are others who are also interested .
“We’ll see at the right time. At the moment I’m fully focused on Ajax and my agent Raiola is taking care of the rest. Also, [Frenkie] de Jong hasn’t spoken to me about a move to Barcelona.”
The defender also praised Juventus defenders Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci and claimed they were examples for young players like him.
