Chelsea are reportedly taking big strides towards completing the signing of Matthijs de Ligt, with Juventus close to agreeing the west London side's latest offer. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and, while there is progress to be made, the Blues are in 'pole position' to sign the defender.

According to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, Chelsea are edging closer to reaching an agreement with the Old Lady. The report claims that Juventus prefer a straight-cash deal despite interest in Jorginho.

It's said that the Italy international is not currently part of any bid tabled by Thomas Tuchel's side. The west Londoners are reportedly pushing to complete the signing of De Ligt, with Juventus slowly relaxing their asking price.
