Transfer news: Bayern Munich reportedly set to sign former Chelsea target Matthijs de Ligt
Matthijs de Ligt, a former target of Chelsea, is allegedly close to a transfer to Bayern Munich. De Ligt joined Juventus in 2019 after numerous notable performances at Ajax. He led his team all the way to the Champions League semifinals in the 2018–19 season at the age of just 19 years old, making him the youngest captain in history.
The Dutch defender, 22, appeared 117 times for the Bianconeri in all competitions. Since Niklas Sule left for rival Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer, Bayern Munich is now anticipated to sign him.
According to Sky Sports, Chelsea apparently had an interest in De Ligt as well. They were even willing to transfer the center back in a player-plus-cash deal for Juventus' Timo Werner.
Report: Chelsea joins race for £80m rated Brazilian Forward who is wanted by rival EPL teams
This summer, interest in the Manchester United target and Ajax winger Antony may increase according to rumors from transfer analyst Dean Jones that Chelsea may become "engaged" in the competition for the player.
This summer, the Brazilian has drawn interest from many prestigious European clubs. According to teamtalk, Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in signing the Brazilian ace.
In place of Raphinha, who left Leeds United for Barcelona this summer, Chelsea might sign him.
Manchester United reportedly made an offer of €60 million (£51 million/$61 million) to Ajax for their star winger Antony, but the Dutch team is holding out for a price of €80 million (£68 million/$81 million).
Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing the Brazilian star, but Antonio Conte's team isn't making Richarlison their top priority this summer.
"I think there is validity to the rumor about Chelsea sniffing about Antony," Dean Jones stated. They might try to become involved because they are aware that he is yearning for a change.
It's somewhat comparable to the situation involving [Cristiano] Ronaldo. In essence, they are in need of an elite attacker, and few of them are actively seeking transfers.
