De Ligt Released, Juventus Chases Toby Alderweireld

Serie A club Juventus move quickly after they failed to secure Matthijs De Ligt's signature. The Old Lady reportedly transferred their hunt to Toby Alderweireld.Juventus in the last few months have been intensely approaching Matthijs De Ligt. They want the Amsterdam Ajax defender to strengthen their defense in the summer.
But according to news circulating, Juventus lost the struggle for De Ligt. The 19-year-old defender is said to have preferred to join Barcelona, ​​so Juventus must find new candidates for their defense.

Reported by Calciomercato, Juventus have found a replacement candidate De Ligt. They are rumored to be trying to bring Toby Alderweireld from Tottenham Hotspur.

Why is Juventus interested in bringing Alderweireld? Check out the complete information below.

According to the report, one of Juventus' considerations was to get Alderweireld because of the defender's flight hours.

Since joining Tottenham a few years ago, Alderweireld has always looked formidable at the heart of the Lillywhites defense. He was even named one of the best defenders at EPL in the last three years.

Not only at Tottenham, Alderweireld is also a mainstay in the Belgian national team. Seeing the defender's track record, Juventus became convinced that the defender could add to the quality of their defense.

In addition to its slick performance, Juventus are also interested in recruiting the 29-year-old defender because of the low price.

Tottenham himself has just activated the auto-renewal clause a few weeks ago. As a result the release clause of the defender dropped from the original 60 million pounds to 20 million pounds.
