The Blues are seeking a replacement for Antonio Rudiger, who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer.

According to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, Chelsea are hoping to secure De Ligt for a basic fee of £60-65 million.

However, Juventus are pushing to increase the fee, as there is interest from other teams in the ball-playing defender.

De Ligt has indicated his desire to leave Juventus for a side that can satisfy his ambitions.
