Barcelona are keen to sign Juventus centre-back Matthijs de Ligt during this summer's transfer window, according to a report.

Barcelona are reportedly ready to explore the possibility of signing Juventus centre-back Matthijs de Ligt during this summer's transfer window.

The 22-year-old has been an important player for the Old Lady during the 2021-22 campaign, making 31 appearances in all competitions, contributing two goals in the process.

De Ligt still has more than two years left to run on his contract in Turin, but there has recently been speculation surrounding his future, with the Netherlands international thought to be open to a summer exit.

According to Fichajes, Barcelona still have an interest in the Dutchman, having been linked with his services on a number of occasions over the last few years.

Xavi's side are believed to be closing in on the signature of Andreas Christensen on a free transfer from Chelsea, but the club are thought to be targeting two new centre-backs this summer amid the speculation surrounding Ronald Araujo's future.

De Ligt has made 106 appearances for Juventus since joining the Italian giants from Ajax in 2019, winning one Serie A title and one Coppa Italia in the process.
