Interesting situation. I'm sure the above mentioned offer from Chelsea is the usual anti Juve bullshit.
Unlike Ronaldo, De Ligt is far from a position in which he can dictate us what to do.
In a world where clubs like Southampton (Van Dijk), Leicester (Maguire), Atletico (Hernandez) sell their CBs for 80mln, we are to settle for 50mln with MDL?
The voices about Matthijs renewal have been around for a while now. So unless he's had some sudden change of heart for which I don't see a reason, the club and him already know what they're going to do. Meaning either selling or keeping. If it's the former, I'd think we have already been looking around for alternatives.
I agree with the majority of you guys that we should sell if an offer of 100mln should come. If it doesn't, keep him even if it means going to a final year of his contract next summer.
In the meantime, buy his replacement NOW so that we can integrate that player easily.
I'm not worried we would be forced to sell the Dutch for 40mln next year because hands are tied. If that was the price it would create a huge demand for him which would naturally elevate the fee.
I agree with you guys he hasn't lived up to the expectations of becoming the Mbappe of defenders. I mean, he's not even a regular for mediocre Dutch NT ffs.
