Chelsea have tremendous £70m Matthijs de Ligt move benefit alongside Man Utd and Man City interest
Juventus' interest in two Chelsea players may help the Blues land the Dutchman, whose release clause may prove difficult to negotiate.
Chelsea has two secret £70 million weapons in their arsenal of interest to Juventus that could help them broker a deal for Matthijs de Ligt despite the £103 million release clause concern.
Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel are planning what could be a massive transfer window for the Blues, who are expected to spend up to £200 million on new recruits this summer. Along with the attack, which will receive a significant portion of the transfer fund as a result of Romelu Lukaku's possible loan exit, Following the high-profile departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer, the defense is a major source of concern.
While the Jules Kounde pursuit is currently stalled, with Boehly deeming the £58m valuation to be a little too high at the moment, other options are being considered, according to The Evening Standard, with de Ligt now being brought into the equation after what happened with contract talks between the Dutchman and Juventus. Although there was initial optimism that Juve's number four would extend his contract while also reducing his release clause, this could not be agreed upon, and the 22-year-old is now requesting a move to the Premier League, according to Corriere dello Sport and others.
Following the high-profile departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer, the defense is a major source of concern.
What may also help Boehly in these negotiations in comparison to Manchester United and Manchester City is the fact that Chelsea currently has two players of interest on their roster who can be used in either a player plus cash swap deal or in separate negotiations - especially if the relationship between the two clubs is good.
