Matthijs de Ligt

They're professionals so it will always be about the money first.
Assuming all of these top clubs are offering similar money, then it's down to the other things.

On the football side; playing time, squad quality, manager reputation, trophies fighting for, training facilities, stadium etc.

Then the domestic side, house, neighbourhood, schools, climate, security etc.

So lots to think about, but your wife and family have to be happy or it will never work out.

Can anyone imagine what it would be like to go home to an unhappy wife??

whilst I agree its probably about the 10%'ers and agents who get a cut that are more interested in the money. I think any body who plays in most major top flight leagues will be stupidly rich as a result and in the end when they approach the end of a career the medals and titles assume massive proportions. I am sure Shearer earned more overall than Lawrenson and Hansen over his career but his trophy cabinet at home would have had very little by comparison to theirs. So when they meet to play golf arriving in their flash cars coming from their big homes in nice areas as Shearer goes to tee off and Hansen says to Lawrenson " how many league titles and cup winners medals have you got Mark? " must make Alan - 1 League title - Shearer slice his drive in annoyance...............

Big transfer saga of the summer isn’t it? It’s bound to be!

Personally can’t wait for the drama queen to get it over with

The summer's very long still, and there are a lot of overpaid players who can't wait to start the dances ;) woo-hoo
 
Heard Ajax had a verbal agreement with de Ligt last year saying that if he'd waited one more year before leaving, they'd have let him go for €50m. Verbal agreements aren't binding of course, but maybe that's why Juve offered €55m at first. I don't blame Ajax for raising their demands this window given the value of the player, but a top club should be forward-thinking enough to be able to keep gentlemen's agreements.
Here's a tweet but it's also reported on De Telgraaf if you're willing to use Google Translate:

So much for this ‘super agent’. He should have made sure it was written down
