Chelsea are ready to offer Timo Werner plus cash to land Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt this summer, according to Gianluca di Marzio. The centre-back has previously been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, but interest appears to be increasing from the Blues.
The report claims an initial bid of roughly €30million (£25million) had been prepared, but would be seen as too little from the Bianconeri. This may be due to a reported release clause of €120million (£103million).
However, a new offer of Werner plus €45million (£38.75million) is believed to be on the table for the Serie A side. Should the deal go through, de Ligt would fill a gap left by the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
