Juventus have reportedly reached an agreement with Ajax for Matthijs de Ligt.
The 19-year-old had attracted interest from several of Europe's powerhouses this summer but is now on the verge of completing his move to the Italian champions.
According to De Telegraaf, Juventus and Ajax have this Friday reached an agreement over the fee, which they report will be £63m paid up front.
There are only a few details needing ironing out before an official announcement of de Ligt's transfer can be made, which is expected either this weekend or next week.
De Ligt was granted permission by Ajax to remain in Amsterdam instead of travelling with the squad for a pre-season tour in Austria with both Juventus and the Dutch champions eager to finalise the deal.
The Holland international was previously told by Ajax he could leave for £45m, but Marc Overmars was not aware of the agreement and demanded a higher figure from Juventus.
Despite interest from Manchester United, Barcelona and Liverpool, de Ligt's preference was always to join Juventus.

Today has just been of transfer Firstly Barca signed Griezmann And now Juventus has reached an agreement with De ligt, I hope this is true, he should follow his dreams and play for one of the best players in the world, Ronaldo, it is up to him, his agent can't control, he is a talented defender and he is strong, energetic, and every club with love to have them in their team, last season for him was incredible, joining Juventus will become another huge step for him, good luck de ligt.

I honestly hope he doesn’t join Juve...and Neither Real nor Barcelona- he should go to ManU or Liverpool because all these big clubs are overfed with world class players and particularly defenders like Chiellini, Bonucci, Ramos
