Doubt that though. Probably closer to 40m.

Its still a bargain at that price going off if talent alone imo.
Not happy with Carrington pool?
And don’t forget he’s as slow as Maguire. That should definitely net you a point at least.
Think he would be a fine addition to the squad for all points mentioned above by other posters. Bit concerned at his lack of playing time recently but worth the price.
Hopefully different minor complaints to Dr Disrespectful
I have a few worries on this transfer.
De Ligt was a one time golden boy. Didn’t really stick at Juventus, now being moved on at Bayern. They don’t usually sell unless they feel the player is on the downside. Pace is potentially an issue… I really think his positioning is excellent as well as his distribution.
We are being linked with Araujo as well, I think I’d prefer him. His nasty steak would fit well with Lisandro.

No. He shagged Koeman and didn’t call him the next day

I am happy with this transfer though provided the price is right. Could be a useful upgrade on current options.
Sounds like a good price. Even with some add ons.
Hope he stays fit if we get him.

Ill be kind of excited about this transfer btw. I think he's class but still a bit raw despite playing for multiple top clubs already. Feels like most CBs dont really peak until their late 20s or even early 30s anyway. Might have something to do with just becoming a more confident cnt as you get older.
At that price an easy buy despite some reservations. I do think there is a lot of Maguire in him, not quite as agile and mobile as you would like but he is still a massive upgrade on Evans/Lindelof if nothing else.
Koeman wanted De Vrij to shag his sister?
Wait, do I mean that Koeman wanted De Vrij to shag Koeman's or De Vrij's sister?
Doesn’t start for Netherlands because he piped David Moyes’ daughter.
All of them.
He'll fit right in
Minor complaints might be not playing
I think how he'd play in the PL in a side that's supposed to be on the front foot would be slightly worrying from an athleticism viewpoint. It's a good price on paper but if he's caught napping by quick players it doesn't matter does it?
Netherlands could put together a decent lineup with the players they had on the bench:
Bijlow
Geertruida de Ligt van de Ven Maatsen
Wijnaldum Veerman Gravenberch
Frimpong Weghorst Malen
Koeman has his favourites.Geertruida de Ligt van de Ven Maatsen
Wijnaldum Veerman Gravenberch
Frimpong Weghorst Malen
Why’s that? What about his athleticism worries you?
Yes!
We have different definitions of decent.
That‘s right we Dutch are blessed with a multitude of defenders. We should retrain some of those feckers into strikers, we‘d be all set.
Frimpong and the back four definitely are.

Sounds like this player is injury prone. Do not want.
I don’t mind the injuries myself, I’m more worried that he doesn’t start for his country, does anyone know why?
That team on paper is better than the Turkey starting eleven and arguably as good as the Switzerland starting eleven, and I don’t even know who half of them are.
Obviously injury prone, slow and a Dutch ex-Ajax player, also got benched for Eric fecking Dier.
Can we please move on?
I was talking about @horsechoker's cassette player you numpties!
The Current Bun reporting it will be completed after Netherlands finish their Euro 2024 campaign
Anything less than 40 million is an absolute bargain. He's obviously got to prove a few doubters wrong but it we can get the best out of him he's a proven leader.
Good distribution is needed from the back and I'd say that's one of his strong points.

I think you should be more concerned about him flopping at Juve than horsechockers Salt & Pepper mixtape. Tapes can be tapped over, flops can’t.
£40 million is a good price. Hopefully he can hack it in the Premier League.
another perma crock CB. He'll fit right in
What, Araujo is also a butcher?
