Real Madrid set to offer Odegaard plus cash for Matthjis de Ligt
Real Madrid are reportedly set to disrupt Barcelona and Juventus’ pursuit of the Ajax defender Matthjis de Ligt. The Dutch starlet has garnered attention across Europe for his scintillating displays in the present campaign.
Barcelona are said to be the favorites to land the 19-year-old, but Juventus have also identified the Ajax product as a priority target and the Italian giants have not given up on the chase so far. However, Real Madrid are also lurking to snatch the player and are ready to offer Martin Odegaard plus €80 million cash to Ajax for De Ligt.
Odegaard has failed to establish himself as a Real Madrid regular, following his much-hyped transfer from Stromsgodset four years ago. Despite the failure, the Norwegian wunderkind has been in good form at his loan club Vitesse and has garnered the attention from Ajax.

However, Juventus have another plan for Higuain. The Old Lady are reportedly prepared to offer the misfiring striker to AS Roma in exchange for Kostas Manolas. Roma have been searching for a striker as Edin Dzeko looks set to depart the club..
Juventus, on the other hand, are searching for suitable replacements for their aging defensive line. Manolas’ release clause stands at €36 million and the player has been linked numerous times with Manchester United.
