Matthijs de Ligt (72 Viewers)

#deLigt wants to stay at #Juventus: he didn't express any dissatisfaction and simply hopes (rightfully) for an evolution of the team as of next season.

As of today, the contract renewal is more likely than a departure, but it is crucial not to get close to "his" deadline in 2023.

We have to ask Bonucci an Chiellini what they think first.

Juventus informed Raiola that they would like to keep de Ligt for another season. In 2023 the club would be open to talk about a departure or a big new contract.

How much bigger could it really get while here? I can't see him staying for that reason alone.

Obviously its bullshit that gets spewed every time some news doesn't favour the club to keep the opium going. He'd have to be masochistic to stay.

He could stay this summer if the club stays firm, but he'll probably be gone after.

Not to shit on him as I like MDL and defenders in general, the same way people usually fanboi over forwards etc. but honestly I expected a little more from him. I know he is young but I don't see any glimpses standing out to justify his wages. Not the positional sense and smooth operation of Barzagli, the ferociousness of Chiellini, or the ball handling/passing ability of Bonucci.
Not to say this means he has to be sold now, maybe he will get there but for the hype I expected a little more so if we keep and he is the same in a year I wouldnt negotiate for a better contract.

Maybe we'll make the team competitive again this summer and then he signs a new contract

This was always going to be a huge issue. Probably never planned to have him more than a few years.

I don't know what people expect, but De Ligt has been pretty good, honestly. Yeah he cost a lot and has higher wages, but even some of the best make mistakes at times. Just look at Virgil the past couple years. Or Bonucci every other match. We already sold Romero and will probably lose Demiral, so if we sell De Ligt without lining up a real replacement who can command the defense for several years, we're just a really dumb club without a plan, but that's what we look like anyway so yeah, just sell him.

Aren't there some quality US defenders around that we could pick up? @Bjerknes

 

[Cerval]

Gucci Onyewu, Dest, Joe Biden

I know you are joking, but honestly there aren't any. Richards is a really good talent for Bayern but who knows how he'll turn out. CB is probably our weakest position talent-wise.

Excuse me, please call him by his fugball name, Brandon.

Is Tim Ream still playing?

Relative of Jim Beam?

I feel, his recently posts on instagram and twitter are respnded to Raiola nonse talks.

Respect to a non-Italian who's touted as one of the top CBs in the world for staying at Juve. Things haven't been so peachy since he arrived and he left on a huge high.

He's already the highest earner in this squad. Will be difficult to give him a significant bump.

it is just an attempt soften things up until he fucks off in summer.

Wait for it.

Doesn't have to be huge.

Also extending his contract should bring down the costs of amortisation, I think?

He's a Raiola client, he'll milk us for all we got.
