Juve 'to unveil Matthijs de Ligt on Monday'

Juventus will reportedly unveil Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt as a new signing on Monday.

The Old Lady have emerged as the favourites to land the 19-year-old despite the likes of Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Liverpool all being credited with an interest this summer.

Juve were reportedly recently told that it would take a bid of £67m to sign the Netherlands international.

According to Tuttosport, the Italian champions have now agreed both personal terms and a fee with Ajax, meaning that a deal will be completed and then officially announced on Monday.

De Ligt scored seven times and contributed four assists in 55 appearances for his Dutch club last season, captaining the team to a league and cup double.

Juve, meanwhile, have also reportedly won the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot on a free transfer ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.
