According to Tuttosport newspaper, Juventus won’t let Matthijs de Ligt leave for less than €110m and are confident that Chelsea will soon make a similar offer.
The Dutch defender wants to leave Juventus in the summer, as confirmed by the Old Lady’s CEO Maurizio Arrivabene on Thursday.
De Ligt has a contract until 2024, but has decided against extending a new deal at the Allianz Stadium and Chelsea are now in talks to secure his services.
Juventus have rejected their first offer of €40m plus Timo Werner or Christian Pulisic and according to Tuttosport, the Bianconeri don’t want to include any player in the deal.
The Serie A giants only want a cash offer for the Dutch defender who has a €120m release clause included in his contract.
The Bianconeri may accept less than that, but according to the report, Juventus are unwilling to sell for less than €110m. The club’s management is confident that Chelsea will soon match the defender’s price tag.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Juventus could negotiate his sale, starting from €90-100m, but neither clubs are in a hurry to reach an agreement. Juventus signed De Ligt from Ajax in an €85.5m deal in 2019.
Everyone in Juve’s Management knows he ain’t worth 100m
but still we don’t want capital loss. lol
I’m fine with 70m plus either of those attackers
Juve can buy a whole defence line with better players with that money
@Brian – werner finishing is poor just like moratta’s and pulisic is just fast – cant even dribble. But yes i agree no one at juve thinks de ligt worth that much
Anything north of 80 million would be ok. Chelsea have money to burn thanks to the Greed Is Good league (copyright Mister Brian Glanville).
