Juventus have announced the signing of highly-rated Dutch centre-back Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax.
The 19-year-old, who had previously been linked with Manchester United and Barcelona, has signed a five-year contract with the Serie A champions.
Juve have paid an initial fee of 75 million euros (£67.8million) for a player who helped Ajax reach last season's Champions League semi-finals and win the Eredivisie title, while reaching the Nations League final with Holland.
The teenager is reportedly set to earn a potential weekly salary of €460,000 (£416,000) if all the add-ons are achieved.
At the weekend Leiderdorp-born De Ligt was left out of Ajax's squad for their summer tour to Austria pending a transfer and he arrived in Turin on Wednesday to undergo a medical at Juve's headquarters.
