An agreement on personal terms is in place between Matthijs de Ligt and Juventus, says the playerâs agent Mino Raiola, but a deal must still be hammered out by the Serie A champions and Ajax.
âAgreements have been made with Matthijs and it is up to Ajax how the club wants to deal with this,â Raiola said.
That deal also included a release clause â as requested by Raiola â that will be around âŹ150m (ÂŁ135m/$170m).
However, while they wait on a transfer fee, Raiola says he is keen to avoid an arbitration case, believing that process to be unsuitable for the player.
âAn arbitration case is out of the question for us,â the 51-year-old said, âI also advised Matthijs, because it does not suit his style and his lifestyle.
âThe player only hopes that Juventus and Ajax will show the will to work and that the deal is completed quickly.â
