[5]
De Ligt made his debut for
Ajax
's senior team in September 2016 in a cup game against

[8]
The
following season
, De Ligt helped Ajax capture a
domestic double
and reach the semi-finals of the
Champions League
.
De Ligt's performances earned him a move to
Serie A
club
Juventus
in 2019, shortly before being awarded the
Kopa Trophy
for world's best under-21 player of the year. He would go on to help the Turin side retain the
league title
in his first season and reclaim the
Italian Cup
in his second. After three years in Italy, De Ligt would then join Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in 2022, again capturing a
league title
in his inaugural campaign.
In 2017, De Ligt made his debut for the Netherlands at the age of 17, making him the youngest player to start for the national team since 1931.

Ajax
[
edit

De Ligt joined the Ajax youth academy when he was nine years old from his local club in
Abcoude
, just outside of
Amsterdam
. At first, the coaches at the youth academy thought he was too slow and out of shape, but he was given a chance to develop in the academy and went on to prove his quality.
[10]
2014?15: Jong Ajax and development
[
edit
]
He made his debut for
Jong Ajax
on 8 August 2014 in an
Eerste Divisie
game against

, playing the full game.
[11]
During the season, De Ligt played in 17 matches for Jong Ajax.
[12]
On 21 September, De Ligt made his debut for Ajax's senior team in a cup game against

De Ligt quickly established himself in the first team after being promoted and went on to play in 11 league matches and nine in the
Europa League
.
[14]
On 24 May, he became the youngest player ever (17 years and 285 days old) to play in a major European final when he started against
Manchester United
in the
2017 UEFA Europa League Final
.

2017?19: Breakthrough and captaincy

After the sale of
Davinson Sanchez
to
Tottenham Hotspur
in August 2017, De Ligt became a first-team starter. He was named the youngest
captain
of Ajax in March 2018 after injury to club captain
Joel Veltman
.
[15]
De Ligt appeared in 37 matches in all competitions and scored three goals. He started in all of his 31 league matches and played 90 minutes in all but one of them (he was substituted in the 33rd minute against
SBV Vitesse
due to an injury).
[14]
Due to De Ligt's performances for Ajax, he was linked with many of Europe's top clubs.
[16]
On 17 December 2018, De Ligt won the
Golden Boy
award, becoming the first defender to win the award.
[8]
On 13 February 2019, De Ligt became the youngest ever captain in a
Champions League
knockout game at 19 years and 186 days old, in a game against
Real Madrid
.
[17]
On 27 February 2019, he played his 100th official game for Ajax in a 0?3
Klassieker
win against
Feyenoord
in the
Dutch national cup
, becoming the youngest Ajax player ever to reach this milestone.
[18]
On 16 April 2019, De Ligt scored the winning goal in the Champions League quarter-final against
Juventus
to send Ajax on to the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since the
1996?97
edition of the tournament.
[19]
[20]

Nordin Wooter
in 1996 and the second-youngest ever defender to score after
Joel Matip
.

[29]
[30]
The match ended in a 2?0 victory and qualification to the quarter-final.
[31]
On 8 April, he scored the only goal from 25 yards (23 m) in a 1?0 away win over
Freiburg
, four days after a 2?1 defeat against the same opponent in the
DFB-Pokal
quarter-finals.
[32]
That strike was voted Bayern's goal of the month in the Bundesliga.
[33]
He was also voted player of the month in both March and April.
[34]
In the first half of the
2023?24 season
, he sustained recurring injuries in his right knee, which led to him being surpassed by
Dayot Upamecano
and
Kim Min-jae
in the starting lineup under coach
Thomas Tuchel
.
[35]
[36]
During the latter part of the season, de Ligt forged a robust partnership with newly acquired
Eric Dier
, contributing significantly to the club's advancement in the
Champions League
.
[37]
International career
[
edit
]
On 25 March 2017, De Ligt made his debut for the
Dutch national team
in a 2?0 away defeat to
Bulgaria
in a
2018 FIFA World Cup qualification
match. National team coach,
Danny Blind
, called De Ligt up for the national team despite having only started two league games for Ajax. At the age of 17, he became the youngest player to start for the national team since 1931.
[9]
During the
UEFA Nations League
, De Ligt started and played 90 minutes in all four group matches against
Germany
and
France
as the Netherlands won the group and qualified for
the inaugural Nations League Finals
.
[38]
In the semi-finals on 5 June, he scored a header against
England
as his team secured a spot in
the final
,
[39]
where the Netherlands would be defeated 0?1 by
Portugal
.
[40]
On 27 June 2021, he was sent off for handball in the
UEFA Euro 2020
round of 16 against
Czech Republic
, in which the Netherlands later conceded two goals and were eliminated from the competition.
[41]
On 29 May 2024, De Ligt was named in the Netherlands' squad for
UEFA Euro 2024
.
[42]
Style of play
[
edit
]
De Ligt is considered by pundits to be among the most highly regarded young prospects in world football, as demonstrated by his victory in the 2018
Golden Boy
award, which is assigned to the most impressive young player in European football.
[43]
[44]
Having played as an
attacking-midfielder
in his youth,
[45]
De Ligt is both a physical and technically gifted right-footed
centre-back
,
[46]
[47]
who is known for his clean tackling, anticipation, marking, height, strength, speed and accurate passing, which enables him to start attacking plays from the back. His height allows him to be a major threat from
set pieces
, while his strength means that he is unlikely to be pushed off the ball, particularly in aerial duels.
[47]
[48]
[49]
[50]
His playing style is often compared to that of
Barcelona
defender
Gerard Pique
;
[51]
[52]
he has also been likened to
Jan Vertonghen
, due to his "similar forward surges, a propensity to create an extra man in midfield, and calmness on the ball," and to compatriot
Ronald Koeman
, courtesy of his "powerful shot and body strength."
[53]
A 2019
UEFA
.com
profile described De Ligt as a "natural leader [who] is an elegant two-footed central defender. Dominant in the air, he is blessed with strength, fine distribution and composure, and is able to play out from the back thanks to his confidence in possession, while his intelligent positioning helps him deny pacy forwards. With his ability to read the game, he could even play in midfield. His leadership also stands him out: he was 18 when he was made Ajax skipper."
[53]
That same year, Paul Wilkes of
The Independent
wrote that "De Ligt's ability to play out from the back and organise his fellow teammates are valuable commodities in a time when the lack of quality defenders has been highlighted."
[54]
Former
Liverpool
and
England
defender
Jamie Carragher
praised De Ligt for his "physical attributes" and "leadership qualities". Carragher also said he plays "like he's 24 or 25" indicating maturity and strength.
[55]
[56]
[57]
Of De Ligt, former Netherlands centre-back
Jaap Stam
said: "He's got composure on the ball, he's aggressive tactically, he sees the game, he reads the game well and he's got that driving force for himself as well in what you need to achieve and where you want to go to."
[53]
Upon signing with Juventus,
Marcello Lippi
, one of the club's former managers, said of the defender's precocious performances: "I've seen plenty of greats, like
Alessandro Nesta
,
Franco Baresi
,
Paolo Maldini
,
Ciro Ferrara
,
Fabio Cannavaro
, and
Marco Materazzi
. I've never seen anyone like that at his age."
[53]
In 2019, Giacomo Chiuchiolo described De Ligt as a "complete" and talented young defender, saying that although he is not exceptionally quick, he possesses excellent positioning and an ability to read the game, among his other technical and physical qualities.
[58]
Despite his talent, he has at times come under criticism in the media for being inconsistent due to his tendency to commit occasional lapses or errors. In October 2019, his
Juventus
defensive teammate
Leonardo Bonucci
said he believes that De Ligt will overcome these weaknesses with time, as he matures and gains more experience with age, and successfully adapts to the team's new defensive strategy under manager
Maurizio Sarri
, who uses a
zonal marking
system rather than
man-to-man marking
.
[59]
Personal life
[
edit
]
De Ligt is in a relationship with Dutch model Annekee Molenaar, daughter of
Keje Molenaar
.
