However, he hasn’t been helped by the fact that the Old Lady have been in transition themselves with the club struggling to find their right way forward. However, with the financial effects of the COVID-19 virus hurting every club across the world, Juventus have been no different.

It has seen De Ligt linked with a move away amidst reports that the Dutch defender could be sold to help free up some of the financial burdens for the club. Yet despite all those rumours, the 22-year-old admitted that he has no intentions of leaving Turin as he’s very happy with the club and feels appreciated both on and off the field. De Ligt further added that he also has no clue why he is being linked with a move to Barcelona because the rumours make no sense.

"I am very happy at Juve. I feel like a fish in water. I feel good on the pitch and appreciated. Would they let me go? There are plenty of clubs that have money problems, but you should ask the club,” De Ligt said, reported ESPN.

"I don’t know. These [Barcelona rumours] make no sense now. That is not important to me and nobody has informed me about it."
