Juventus centre-back Matthijs de Ligt has moved to reduce speculation that he could leave the Italian giants this summer, with Chelsea among the clubs interested in his signature.
The Blues were heavily linked with the 22-year-old during the summer window but could not agree a deal for his services in time.
However, with Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger all potentially leaving, Chelsea could well reopen discussions as they look to bolster Thomas Tuchel's backline.
