Fans of Juventus can now say that Matthijs de Ligt is already a bianconero. He arrived in Turin last Wednesday and signed his contract with the Serie A champions until mid-2024 on Thursday. The Dutchman was requested by coach Maurizio Sarri and the club management made a tremendous effort as Barcelona was also interested in the Dutch defender. There is a new defense for the 2019-2020 season.
Matthijs de Ligt is expected to be a starter in Maurizio Sarri's Juventus and there will definitely be someone sacrificed to make way for the former Ajax player. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Italian coach has chosen who will be on the substitutes' bench.
It is indicated that Sarri decided between Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini, and the one chosen to leave the starting eleven was the former AC Milan player. The coach likes to play with four defenders (two center-backs and two full-backs) and De Ligt is more than a guarantee from the start.
The aforementioned Spanish media adds that the Dutchman sometimes shows excess confidence and that is why Sarri wants him to be paired with Giorgio Chiellini, a player with "composure" who will teach him all his experience in the central defense.
Juventus paid 85.5 million euros for Matthijs de Ligt, making him the most expensive defender in history. la Vecchia Signora wants to win the Champions League with him in their squad.
