Furthermore, La Gazzetta dello Sport report that De Ligt will become the highest-paid defender in Italy as he gets ready to seal his £63million move.
The Italian newspaper also states that Cristiano Ronaldo played a role in tempting De Ligt become to Turin, where he will be getting ready to feature alongside centre-back stalwarts Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini.
The Dutchman will not travel to Ajax's pre-season camp in Austria as he looks to finalise his big-money move.
