Juventus want 'pure cash' but have lowered their demand to be rid of the centre-back, as Chelsea start 'concrete negotiations' to land the 22-year-old this summer. CFC
Chelsea ‘start concrete negotiations’ for top Tuchel target as Serie A side lower €120m demandChelsea have reportedly ‘started concrete negotiations’ for Matthijs de Ligt after Juventus lowered their asking price for the centre-back.
De Ligt has made 118 appearances in all competitions in his three seasons with Juventus following his €75m move from Ajax.The Serie A side have been pushing for the 22-year-old to extend his contract beyond 2024, with the club in ‘continuous contact’ with his agent, Rafaela Pimenta. The Old Lady want to extend his deal by a further two years, reducing his salary from €11m to €8m per year, while lowering his release clause from €120m to €80m, which can be activated next year.Chelsea have been most heavily linked with the defender and
claimed they were hoping to complete a deal for just €70m, but that hope, along with the idea of offering a player in exchange, now appears to have been dismissed.
