Chelsea, willing to considerably increase its offer for De Ligt

The chance to see Matthijs de Ligt wear the t-shirt Chelsea the next season is getting more real. The club, after seeing a first offer rejected, is willing to raise the amount notably this week, waiting for the ‘ok’ of the Juventus.

Since the Dutch central left the door open to a possible exit from Turin, things have accelerated. The Chelseawith a big problem in the central axis of the defense after the exits of Antonio Ruediger y Andreas Christhensenhas been the first to launch for De Ligt. The initial offer was €45 million plus Timo Werner, an operation that Juventus Turin rejected without hesitation, which wants more cash to try to close his replacement.

This same week the ‘blues’ are expected to make a new offer. Having Thomas Tuchel the approval of De Ligt to join, the Chelsea is willing to reach €75 million to get hold of him since he is a top priority, an amount that they hope will be enough to satisfy Juventus.

In Turin, however, they are going to press to get the most out of it and, although there has been talk of the possibility of Christian Pulisic or Jorginho entering the operation, they report from England that if they wanted to sign them, it would be done in a separate operation and would never be included.
