Barcelona bid for Juventus defender De Ligt – will try again

Barcelona have launched a bid for Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt.

The Daily Mail claims Barca made a bid of €74m for De Ligt, which was immediately rejected by Juve.

De Ligt only joined Juve last summer from Ajax – rejecting Barca in the process. However, an inconsistent first season in Italy has encouraged Barca to try again for the Holland international.

It’s understood Barca made their offer during talks over a swap involving Nelson Semedo going to Juve in exchange for Miralem Pjanic and Mattia de Sciglio. Negotiations are continuing over the exchange.

Barca could yet try again for De Ligt in the coming weeks.
