Matthijs de Ligt is reportedly pushing for a mega-money transfer to Chelsea in a desperate bid to leave Juventus.
The 22-year-old wants to join the Blues and become new owner Todd Boehly 's first major signing, but his £102 million release clause has proven a stumbling block. However, De Ligt's desire to depart Turin after three seasons in Serie A is driving his valuation down, according to the Telegraph.
Chelsea are also willing to offer Timo Werner or Christian Pulisic as part of the deal - both players who each cost the club more than £45m. Mirror Football understands that the west Londoners had an opening bid worth £35m plus Werner rejected, although are willing to include Pulisic in their next offer as an alternative sweater.
