  • The centre of attraction in the transfer market, Matthijs de Ligt revealed that Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo asked him to join Juventus during the pair’s UEFA Nations League final date.

    Portugal became 1-0 victors in the inaugural tournament after Goncalo Guedes’s goal found no reply.

    Ajax star De Ligt has been linked to many top clubs, with Barcelona being the front-runners.

    The Dutchman revealed that the Juventus start asked him to join him at the Italian club.

    “Ronaldo asked me to go to Juventus,” De Ligt revealed in the mixed zone after the defeat, according to Marca.

    “I was surprised by his request, which is why I laughed.

    “I didn’t understand him at first.”

    The player is wanted by top European clubs but he admitted that he is yet to make a decision and could do it after a vacation.

    “I’m going on holidays now,” he said.

    “I’m going to think about what’s best for me and then I’ll decide.

    “It’s important for a young player to play, that’s the only thing I’m sure of.”
