Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel has promised to make at least six new signings this summer to bolster the squad.
After Todd Bolly bought the club and saved it after the departure of Roman Abramovich, it seems that now the one who is close to joining the club and strengthening the London defense is Mathias de Licht from Juventus.
Chelsea are genuinely interested in Matthijs de Ligt, confirmed.
Juve will ask for a big fee as they are discussing to extend Matthijs' contract, but still no full agreement.

The 22-year-old De Licht, who grew up at Ajax, is under contract at Juventus until 2024, and after the Blues lost the Rodgers and Christensen brakes - he became their big target this summer.
According to reports in England, Chelsea also offered German striker Timo Warner as part of the deal.
As we mentioned earlier Tuchel is looking for more reinforcements, and at the front the candidates to get to Stamford Bridge are Raheem Sterling Manchester City, Everton's Brazilian Richardson, and even Osman Dembele from Barcelona is mentioned as a candidate.
