JAKARTA - Chelsea are hunting for quality defenders. The reason is, they lost Antonio Rudiger and Andres Christensen who chose to leave after their contracts ended.
One of the names ogled is Juventus defender, Matthijs de Ligt. In fact, the English Premier League club is ready to include the names of Timo Werner or Christian Pulisic in the deal in order to get the player.
Quoted by Antara from football-italy, Chelsea are preparing their first offer for De Ligt to Juventus consisting of cash and one player.
Even so, it is predicted that Juventus are not interested in the idea offered by Chelsea. The Italian Serie A club is believed to only want a cash offer of at least 100 million euros (around IDR 1.5 trillion) for De Ligt.
Currently, De Ligt has a release clause of 120 million euros in his contract with Juventus, which expires in 2024, and the club will only accept offers close to that figure.
Currently, Chelsea is thought to be in front of De Ligt, although Manchester City and Manchester United are also paying attention to the former Ajax player.
In the summer of 2019, Juventus paid 75 million euros to Ajax to sign De Ligt on a five-year contract. This price also makes the Dutch player the most expensive defender in the history of Italian football.
Last season, the 22-year-old made 42 appearances in various competitions for the Bianconeri and scored three goals and provided one assist in a total of 3,691 minutes played.
During his time with Juventus, De Ligt appeared in 117 games in various competitions and contributed 8 goals and three assists. In addition, he also presented one Italian League title, Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup.
