Matthijs de Ligt has said he is happy at Juventus and hopes to stay with the Turin giants for a long time.

"I'm very happy in Turin, I hope to stay here for a long time," De Ligt told Juventus TV.

"I was really proud [to join Juventus] of course, when a big club like Juve want you it's a big honour. I always liked Juve as a club and now I'm happy and proud to wear this shirt."

The subject of De Ligt's future was raised earlier this week when his international team-mate Frenkie de Jong suggested that the pair could be reunited at Barcelona at some point.

"He took the decision [to go to Juventus] and, in general, things are going well for him in Turin, but that doesn't mean he couldn't come to Barcelona in a few years," De Jong, who joined Barca from Ajax over the summer, told De Telegraaf.
