Barcelona can sign Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt for a knockdown fee courtesy of a clause in his deal.

Sport says De Ligt's agent Mino Raiola had a buyout clause of €75m written into his contract for Barcelona, whereas the clause is €120m for any other club.

It comes after Raiola told Dutch media that both he and the defender believed it was time he took a 'new step' in his career beyond the Bianconeri.

Juve signed De Ligt from Ajax for €85.5m in the summer of 2019 and his contract runs to June 2024.

Barca are hopeful of stabilising their finances in order to be competitive in the summer market.
