Chelsea will reportedly have a new conference call with Juventus and Matthijs de Ligt to discuss the defender’s transfer to Stamford Bridge.
De Ligt is unwilling to sign a contract extension with Juventus and club CEO Maurizio Arrivabene confirmed last week that the Dutch centre-back wants to leave.
Chelsea have already opened talks with the Serie A giants, but their opening bid has been rejected. The Premier League giants had offered €40m plus Timo Werner or Christian Pulisic.
According to transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà, a new conference call involving the three parties will take place soon.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Sunday that Chelsea have already made an improved bid for Juventus, putting €80m on the table. A new offer from the Blues has not been confirmed by any other source in Italy or England.
De Ligt has a €120m release clause included in his contract, but Juventus may start negotiations for a fee around €90-100m.
This is the time to prove yourself juve board – we need at least 100m euros from him, and try and get this all paid in 3yrs
Cash only. Chelsea have plenty of it!
Knowing the 7/9 CL runners up winners, they will under sell and make a loss. Not surprising as they no longer have Moggi or Marotta. From Paratici, to Paratici 2.0 and a failed Ferrari director, just bring back Don Alessio Secco to complete the circus act. Reheated leftover soup with Pogba, still no announcement regarding a 34 years young winger, literally no strikers, the same full backs and soon only 2 defenders. Meanwhile Inter have been adding like wildfire. At least the Dutch Phil Jones has experienced the ship sinking and wants out of PhD Max’s Victorian era slow ball.
