De Ligt as the subject of interest for Chelsea: the latest news surrounding the transfer

The notorious club from London, Chelsea, is reportedly after Juventus’ Matthijs de Ligt, who they would like to acquire permanently this summer. While the Old Lady turned down Chelsea’s first bids for the Dutch defender, the Blues were not particularly satisfied with Juve’s counter offers as well, so the deal seems to be off right now. Nevertheless, Chelsea are expected to make other moves to bring the young Matthijs de Ligt to London.

The 20/21 Champions League winners aim to make the club from Turin happier with higher and more favourable bids this week already, according to Romeo Agresti. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that both clubs will be in contact this week for the Dutch defender too, and that the price tag for Matthijs de Ligt remains high. Gianluca Di Marzio and Matt Law agree about the parties not making any major progress in the ‘deal’.

Therefore, as we can see, it is not clear that the Blues are pushing smoothly for the former Ajax central defender, but we can state the fees that La Gazzetta dello Sport reported to get a clearer picture of the situation. Their news views Juventus being keen on the release clause of 120 million euros. In addition, GdS reckon that Chelsea’s first proposed offer was a fee around 40-45 million euros plus a player between Pulisic and Werner. In the report, they add the club from London could be preparing an offer with raised cash and Jorginho to seal the deal with Juve.
