Ranking The Best Football Transfers In Europe During Summer 2019/20
3. Matthijs De Ligt - Juventus
One of the biggest transfer mysteries of the summer was where Matthijs De Ligt would move to. The former Ajax captain had plenty of suitors, including Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, he has decided to ply his trade in Serie A with Juventus and it looks like it's going to be a fantastic purchase for them.
The 19-year old has been earmarked for years as a player with some potential, but he really gave fans a glimpse of how good he is when he captained Ajax to the Champions League semi-final last year. Leading up to that point, De Ligt had guarded their defence exceptionally, putting in a string of fantastic performances for the Sons of Gods before their exit.
Even at such a young age, De Ligt is one of the best defenders in the world. He's fantastic at collecting the ball and passing it out from the back, but he's also got the hard-nosed, no nonsense attitude that makes him a formidable opponent in the challenge.
However, the most impressive aspect of De Ligt's game is his leadership qualities. Despite not even being 20-years old yet, he's established himself as the boss of his team. If he's able to have a similar impact at Juventus he can be one of the most important players in leading them to Champions League glory.
