Matthijs de Ligt, a defender for Juventus, is allegedly a target for Chelsea and Bayern Munich this summer. 

Juventus is requesting a transfer fee for the 22-year-old in the range of €90 million, according to Fabrizio Romano. Bayern Munich, a powerhouse in Germany, is anticipated to make a fresh offer for the Dutch players soon. 

German centre back Niklas Sule, whose contract with the team expired, left the Bavarians and joined Borussia Dortmund earlier this month on a free transfer. Now that Sule has left, the Bundesliga champions will be anxious to recruit a top-tier defender.

After their contracts expired on June 30th, Chelsea let go of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen. This summer, the team is anticipated to add two top-notch centre backs to replace the pair. 

Kalidou Koulibaly was acquired by Thomas Tuchel's team from Napoli for £33 million. According to Football.london, the team is eager to sign Matthijs de Ligt, a star for Juventus. 

Matthijs de Ligt progressed through Ajax's development programmes before making his Eredivisie debut in the 2016–17 season. During his time with the Dutch team, he developed into one of the most exciting young prospects in Europe, earning himself a €75 million transfer to Juventus in 2019. The Dutchman later made 117 appearances for the team across all leagues and helped the Bianconeri win the Serie A championship and the Coppa Italia. 

De Ligt is an important starter for Massimiliano Allegri's team, but if Juventus receives a deal in the neighbourhood of €90 million, they may be willing to consider selling the Dutchman.

 

Matthijs de Ligt, who Juventus are interested in signing for Chelsea and Bayern Munich, may be replaced by Pau Torres. 

According to reports, Juventus has accepted that Matthijs de Ligt will leave the team after 90 minutes. Due to his wage demands, the defender was unable to negotiate a contract extension deal. 

Bayern Munich and Chelsea have both made aggressive pursuits of the Dutchman. Therefore, the Bianconeri will probably try to sign a successor for him this summer. Pau Torres has reportedly been chosen by Massimiliano Allegri's team as De Ligt's potential replacement, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Spaniard aided Villarreal in capturing the 2019–20 Europa League and advancing to the Champions League semifinals last year. He also had a significant impact on Spain's Euro 2020 run to the semifinals. 

In the near future, Torres is anticipated to join one of the top clubs in Europe. He is the perfect De Ligt successor at Juventus because of his technical brilliance and ball-playing prowess.
