Chelsea
are willing to pay €45m (£38m) plus Timo Werner to sign Matthijs de Ligt
from Juventus while Hakim Ziyech is in talks with AC Milan, reports Sky in
Italy.
The 22-year-old Netherlands defender has a £103m (€120m) release clause in
his Juventus contract, which is due to expire in 2024, and the club will
only entertain offers close to that mark.
Chelsea are looking for defensive reinforcements in this transfer window,
having seen Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leave upon the
expiration of their contracts.
Werner cost Chelsea £50m in June 2020 but has tended to struggle in front of
goal for the Blues, netting just nine Premier League goals in two full
seasons with the club,
Ziyech in talks with AC Milan
AC Milan are in talks to sign Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea, reports Sky in
Italy.
The winger moved to west London from Ajax in a £33m deal two years ago but
has failed to transfer his impressive form with the Dutch champions.
Ziyech could become the third Chelsea player in the last 12 months to join
AC Milan with Olivier Giroud and Fikayo Tomori making the switch to the
Italian giants last summer.
