He won’t join Juventus as player’s agent finally meets Chelsea to secure a deal
This summer, Chelsea is engaged in a defense search that appears to be shifting focus a little.
However, Thomas Tuchel needs to replace Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, but as of this writing, neither player has been replaced. Nathan Ake is rumored to return to Stamford Bridge this summer, although they will need to buy at least another center-back.
Although it looks that Matthijs De Ligt is a top priority, Bayern Munich is also making a strong bid for him, and his asking price may already be excessive.
According to Sky Sports Italy, which was cited by Football Italia, Chelsea talked with the defender Kalidou Koulibaly’s agent over the weekend, so it appears that they are formulating backup plans and executing them.
The same story states that Koulibaly won’t replace De Ligt at Juventus if he departs, contrary to what has been recently published by Sport Italia.
