The Germans managed to hire the Dutch defender after an operation that ended at 80 million euros (70 plus ten in variables) . He signs for five seasons, that is, until 2027 .

The Dutchman will join the German squad after Niklas Süle ‘s departure to Borussia Dortmund as a free agent. The German ended his contract and left for his eternal rival. De Ligt will have the task of matching and surpassing the performance of the footballer who is now dressed in yellow and black.

His Allianz Arena duo could be Upamecano , another young centre-back, but unlike De Ligt, he is quite burly . The ex – Juventus is a more technical defender, with better ball control and a lot of markings. In addition to being great in aerial duels.

Proof of this are the eight goals he managed to score in the ” Vecchia Signora “. After playing in the Eredivise and Serie A, it’s his turn to test the Bundesliga, which is eagerly awaiting him to demonstrate what he’s done at Ajax.
