Short summary of the dutch article below:

1) The transfer still isn't complete and there's still a distance between the two: Juve bid €65 (€50m fixed & €15m in bonuses) - Lower than what Ajax expected who want closer to €75-80m.

2) Raiola has been key in getting a good deal for De Ligt - He's been busy for months trying to get the best contract - It was a three way fight between Barca, PSG & Juve. Barca couldn't match the financial offer, so it was PSG v Juventus.....

....De Ligt preferred Juve to PSG, in part due to the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo. The first part of the deal is done - Juve and Raiola have agreed terms on De Ligt's contract.

3. Ajax aren't demanding a 'big prize' for De Ligt, in part because many of their young talents were wanted across Europe a year ago. They pulled out the stops to keep the players with a view to keeping an open mind of transfers this summer.

4. De Ligt's camp say there was a promise to sell this summer but there was no 'formal' commitment to sell De Ligt for €50m this summer. Due to Ajaxs' run in the CL, the players have all increased in value. €75m is considered reasonable.

5. On the outside, it looks like a soap opera, but in reality, Its "just a logical sequence of developments." 'AD' already reported in Jan that Juve were De Ligt's first choice, taking into account Raiola's contacts at the club.

...Despite other clubs being interested, "De Ligt's choice remained with Juventus." Both clubs want to get it resolved quickly - Juve see De Ligt as "the most important reinforcement this summer" having beat Barca and PSG. Its not 'if' it will happen, but 'when'.

So basically they are saying what we all already know...

So what are the odds that Ajax just says fuck it and keeps him? It sounds like we are the only team that have met his and his agents demands and the team that he wants to go to but we won't (as of now) pony up what it takes to land him. We need to get this guy signed ASAP.

Highly unlikely don't worry about it.

Would depend on how the player (and more importantly Raiola) react to that news. I find it very unlikely Ajax would want them sticking around unhappy.

Interestingly, the odds are showing a severe lengthening this afternoon. Yesterday they were at 1/50 which is tantamount to “it’s all but done.”

In the last hour the odds have drifted down from 1/50 to 1/15. In the meantime, the Barcelona odds have shortened cack down to 6/1.

AA has always had a reputation for parsimoniousness and it is definitely beginning to look as though he has never lost this ability to present himself as king of the cheeseparers

Damn chief ... You use some big and fancy words. Your average Tuzzer will get a brain aneurysm from reading that.

Odds meaning nothing, mate. It’s based on the info that bookmakers have, usually information that is known to everyone. The second factor is the betting patterns of people placing bets. Do you really think bookmakers have better info than the likes of insiders like Di Marzio and Agresti?
