Italian champions Juventus have completed the £67.5m signing of 19-year-old Dutch international defender Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax.
De Ligt, who had also been linked with Manchester United, Barcelona and Paris-St Germain, has signed a five-year contract with the Serie A side.
Juventus said the fee was “payable in five financial years” with “additional costs of 10.5m euros (£9m)”.
De Ligt helped Ajax to the Champions League semi-finals last season.
He made his debut for the Amsterdam club in 2016 and became their youngest captain in March 2018.
- De Ligt scored eight goals in 77 league appearances, winning the Dutch domestic league and cup double last season, as well as reaching a Europa League final in 2017.
