Chelsea looking to offer Timo Werner in Matthijs de Ligt deal

Chelsea are hoping to capture Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus and are willing to pay €45m (£38m) plus Timo Werner in the deal to land the Netherlands defender at Stamford Bridge.Chelsea looking to offer Timo Werner in Matthijs de Ligt deal

The Blues initially prepared to offer around €25-30m + Werner, but it is seen as too little for Juventus at the moment as they want more cash.

Seems De Ligt is keen on a move to Chelsea and Timo Werner is also looking for a move away from the West London side.

Juventus would only consider offers that are near to the player’s £103 million (€120 million) release clause, which is set to expire in 2024.

After losing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen when their contracts expired, Chelsea is seeking defensive replacements in this offseason.

Werner cost Chelsea £50m in June 2020, but he hasn’t exactly excelled for the Blues in front of goal, scoring just nine Premier League goals in two complete seasons.

Most Chelsea fans think Timo Werner is one of those attackers who keeps going and does their best to put in commitment in the team even when things are tough.

Although he has occasionally battled, he has never given up, never complained and they believe that Timo Werner is the only one who can end Chelsea’s number 9 curse.

Others consider Todd Boehly to be a genius if he manages to complete the Matthijs de Ligt transfer for the £40 million plus Timo Werner offered by Chelsea to Juventus.

Meanwhile, rumor has it that Liverpool is planning a shocking move for the Chelsea forward because Jurgen Klopp thinks the player would fit well with his style of play. There have been no negotiations because the interest is still in its early stages.
