Always according to said medium, Bayern offered a fixed 60 million euros and a 10 million bonus for De Ligt, proposal that Juventus did not accept. At the meeting, which took place at the headquarters of the ‘vecchia signora’, Rafaela Pimenta, the defender’s agent, was also present, who wants to leave the black and white team and already has an agreement with the Bavarian club.

The meeting marked the official opening of negotiations between Juventus and Bayern. At the beginning, Juventus recalled that De Ligt’s clause is 120 million euros and made it clear to German emissaries that he does not want players to be included in the operation. Turinese want money to invest in transfers.
Salihamidzic said on leaving Turin: “We are talking, I can’t say anything. Optimism? Always.” De Ligt’s (22-year-old) contract with Juventus ends in 2024. The former Ajax captain signed for the Turin team in 2019, when Juventus paid the Amsterdam club 85.5 million for the player.
