Sky Italy are also reporting a release clause will be included in his contract with Juve for around €150m (£135m).
uventus will now start official talks with Ajax in an attempt to finalise the deal.
However, Paris Saint-Germain remain in the hunt for the 19-year-old and in contact with Ajax.
De Ligt is one of Europe’s most sought-after players after captaining Ajax to the Dutch league and cup double as well as the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.
