But a next step in de-ligt poker should take place soon. Accordingly, FCB is preparing a first official offer for the 22-year-old, which will be made on Sunday evening at the earliest and could be between 50 and 60 million euros – probably too little for Juventus, who should demand at least 80 million euros for the defender. De Ligt still has a contract with Juve until 2024. Loud Sky both negotiating partners could end up meeting at around 70 million euros. The salary of the possible new star when changing should be between 17 and 19 million euros. A long-term contract until 2027 is being considered.
The possible sums to be put on the table for the youngster’s services vary from source to source. According to the Italian transfer expert Nicolo Schira, de Ligt should “only” earn 12 million euros a year.

The only 22-year-old Dutchman is one of the stars of Juventus Turin. In 2019 he moved from the Netherlands from Ajax Amsterdam to Italy for 85.5 million euros and has played 117 competitive games for the “Old Lady” so far, but has not always been able to completely convince. Its market value is according to the portal transfermarkt.de therefore already fallen to 70 million euros. However, the potential of the youngest Ajax captain in history speaks for itself. In Munich he would look to his former club colleagues Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui meet who, like him, trained in the Ajax youth team and also became a professional with the Dutch record champions. Gravenberch and Mazraoui joined Bayern from Amsterdam this summer.
