According to Tuttosport, Juventus hierarchy will try to make the most of the situation to discuss a possible summer swoop for star defender De Ligt.
He is only 19 years old, but already has 13 senior caps for the Netherlands and is the rock at the centre of the Ajax defence.
There is plenty of competition, above all from Barcelona, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, but Real Madrid appear to have pulled out after splashing €50m on FC Porto defender Eder Militao.
Manchester City and Chelsea are facing the prospect of transfer bans, so would be unable to bring anyone in.
