Lust with Matthijs De Ligt, Chelsea shake Juventus with Timo Werner

DBasia.news – Chelsea reportedly want to buy Juventus defender Matthijs De Ligt with a player swap deal, Chealsea include Timo Werner’s name in the exchange of players.

Chelsea began to heat up the engine to move in the transfer market. After the status of the new owner met a bright spot, now the Blues can again bring in new players.

One of Chelsea’s focuses is in the defense sector. The Blues have just left Andreas Christensen who is rumored to have joined Barcelona. In addition, the future of the captain, Cesar Azpilicueta, is also still in the dark. Prior to that, Antonio Rudiger had also joined Real Madrid.

According to transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Thomas Tuchel specifically asked Chelsea management to sign Matthijs de Ligt. At only 22 years old, De Ligt is believed to be a promising investment.

Moreover, the Dutch national team player also has a reputation as one of the best defenders in Serie A at the moment. Since leaving Ajax Amsterdam for Juventus, De Ligt has absorbed a lot of defensive knowledge from Italian football, which is known as the best.

Chelsea have made their first bid. The contents of the proposal submitted are cash worth 25 to 30 million euros plus Timo Werner. Reportedly, the German striker has agreed to the move.

Timo Werner’s entry is also not without reason. In addition to reducing prices, Chelsea also knows that Juventus are hunting for a new striker after the departure of Paulo Dybala. At the same time, the Blues are believed to be dissatisfied with Werner’s performance so far.

However, the offer is still too low for Juventus. The Bianconeri want more cash. Moreover, La Vecchia Signora also has the upper hand because it is discussing a contract extension with De Ligt.

Apart from Matthijs de Ligt, Chelsea are reportedly also hunting for a number of other central defenders. Two of them are Jules Kunde and Nathan Ake.
