OFFICIAL: Matthijs De Ligt will wear No 4 shirt at Juventus the same as he had in Ajax
De Ligt: "The number 4 for me has always been special, I wore it since the youth teams of Ajax. It has an important legacy here too at Juventus, so I hope to live up to this number. "
De Ligt has chosen shirt number 4, a number that was worn by the likes of Benatia or Caceres in recent years. In the past, players like Montero, Vieira or Felipe Melo wore the Bianconeri shirt with that number.
The most famous Juventus number 4 is certainly Beppe Furino, who has a clear message for De Ligt recently: "If De Ligt chooses it, then the number will be in good hands. He reminds me more of Giancarlo Bercellino, another legendary 4 in the 60s. De Ligt is an extraordinary transfer but the role does not count. Number 4 means to struggle and sweat, the values of Juventus."

Also sounds like De Ligt knew he was coming to Juventus for some time. Cristiano's words were a compliment, but he was already on his way. That's a great sign, a huge compliment and a show of just where we are right now. #WelcomeDeLigt
