‘Mino Raiola confirms his release clause set to be reduce to make deal happen, as Chelsea leading race to sign €120m player
Following Antonino Rudiger’s and Andrea Christensen new contract situations, The Blues has been linked with Matthijs de Ligt recently and now reports are suggested that the Blues are in the lead for his signature.
According to Tuttosport and the Metro, the Blues are frontrunners but any deal hinges on one key factor.
De Ligt has a €120m release clause in his Juventus contract and his agent Mino Raiola is negotiating to have it reduced.
This is in order to make a deal more appealing to the Blues, who would reportedly be willing at a lower price.
The Dutch centre-back has started 7 games in Serie A this season as Juve continue to struggle, so a deal in the summer is very much possible.
