The chances of Matthijs De Ligt signing a contract renewal have increased as Juventus prepare a convincing offer.
The 22-year-old Dutch centre back’s current deal expires with the Bianconeri in 2024 and words from his agent Mino Raiola before Christmas seemed to suggest that he’d be looking to depart in the upcoming summer transfer window. Things have changed since then and the former Ajax man has re-found his happiness in Turin a little.
As reported by Tuttosport, Juventus are working on a new contract for De Ligt which could start with a lower base salary than his current €7m net per season wages, but with a longer duration and more interesting add-ons.
Developments are expected as this month progresses, with the Bianconeri working on a number of contract negotiations currently like star Paulo Dybala.
De Ligt has made 30 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2630 minutes. In that time, he’s scored two goals and helped the side keep 13 clean sheets.
