JAKARTA - English Premier League club, Chelsea, reportedly continues to tease Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt. The Blues need fresh blood in their defense after losing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.

Juventus itself seems ready to lose De Ligt. Despite wanting to keep the player, I Bianconerri will look for the right replacement if they end up losing.

This was conveyed by the coach, Massimiliano Allegri. He admitted that he would find a replacement for De Ligt in the best way.

"Matthijs de Ligt? We will be ready to replace him in the best way, if later he leaves. He is still our player at this time," said Allegri.

In addition to Chelsea, the Dutch player is also widely reported to be being approached by German Bundesliga club, Bayern Munich. It is even reported that Bayern representatives have flown to Turin, Italy, to meet Juventus.

Meanwhile, Chelsea did not make De Ligt the only target. Thomas Tuchel's club also approached Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

Reporting from Fabrizio Romano's Twitter social media account, Chelsea has reached an agreement with Napoli and the player. Koulibaly will be under contract until June 2027.
