Raiola offers Chelsea encouragement for Juventus defender De Ligt

Chelsea have been encouraged in their interest for Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt.

The 22-year-old is being tracked as a solution to the Blues' defensive headache. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has been keeping tabs on the wonderkid as he looks for solutions to his impending crisis at the back.

The Blues have FOUR senior defenders out of contract next summer: Toni Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Cesar Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva.

And superagent Mino Raiola has told NRC his client, De Ligt, is ready to look beyond Serie A.

He said: “(De Ligt) is ready for a new step… he thinks that too."

The Netherlands centre-back captained Ajax at the tender age of just 18 before moving to Juve in 2019.

He won the Golden Boy award as Europe's best youngster during his stint at Johan Cruyff Arena.
