Chelsea 'making progress' on De Ligt transfer, Juventus' asking price revealed

As per reliable reporter Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports, Chelsea are 'making progress' on the Matthijs de Ligt transfer.

Juventus want a straight cash deal. The Serie A club is interested in Jorginho but don't want him to be a part of this deal (player plus cash).

Juventus have 'softened' a bit on the price and this has seen Chelsea continue to push for the centre-back.

However, the two teams are still some distance apart in final valuation so add ons key. Chelsea are hoping to pay £60-65 million but Juventus want close to £75m.

That's 'still progress' as Juventus' initial asking price was well over £80m. De Ligt is 'very open' to the move, the report adds.
