Massimiliano Allegri insists Juventus will be ready if defender Matthijs de Ligt leaves for Bayern Munich, as he revealed talks were ongoing regarding a transfer for the Netherlands international.
De Ligt has been strongly linked with the Bundesliga champions throughout the transfer window, with Juventus chief executive Maurizio Arrivabene revealing last month that the former Ajax man wants to leave the Bianconeri.
The 22-year-old has made 87 Serie A appearances since joining Juventus for a reported €85million in 2019 but has struggled for consistency in Italy.
Having won eight consecutive league titles prior to De Ligt s arrival, Juventus have only lifted one Scudetto in three seasons with the Dutchman.

Academy graduates Dean Campbell and Connor McLennan are among the players leaving Aberdeen this summer, while Liam Fox is also departing after a short-term coaching role.
Marley Watkins and Matty Kennedy are also among the first-team players who are being released.
Both McLennan and Campbell spent the final season of their Dons careers out on loan.

Rob Edwards is keen for Luton Town to ignore the scrutiny surrounding them in the relegation battle as they prepare for another big game against Wolves.
The Hatters sit one point from safety in the relegation zone after back-to-back 5-1 defeats against Manchester City and Brentford.

Newcastle United want to sign West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen and Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer, according to reports.
Bowen, 27, is under contract at the London Stadium until 2030 so will command a huge fee.
