According to rumors, the 1st official bid for DeLigt from Chelsea is very close.
it can happen in a day and always according to rumors it will be 70m €+bonuses, Juventus wants 100m € in value.
€100m is huge money for a center-defender although he is still 22 years old. If Chelsea is still owned by Roman Abramovich, I believe Chelsea has no problem with that amount of money. But Chelsea is no longer owned by Abramovich, I doubt Chelsea has that big money to sign a single center-back. €70m + bonuses is actually a good offer, Juventus may still try to prevent De Light by charging a high price for him. Chelsea has €70m, so needs more money (€30m) to get a deal. I think €30m isn't a little amount of money, it is still far from a "close deal".
Anyway, I heard a rumor that Chelsea found another target. They are in talks with Sevilla management to negotiate for Jules Koundé. They probably think De Light price is too expensive, Jules Koundé becomes the alternative.
For the defender position, Juventus demand is very large for €100m, I think Juventus are asking a very high price for Matthijs de Light to prevent
the player from moving. Because we know that Juventus has yet to bring in a new defender, even though Juventus have just lost Giorgio Chiellini.
Besides, I agree with you that it's not necessarily the current Chelsea owner who will spend too much money to bring in one player. I doubt Juventus
and Chelsea will find a price agreement, Chelsea is better off looking for alternative defenders who have almost the same quality as Matthijs de Light,
but have a cheaper price. Jules Kounde is a good choice, and also I'm sure the price of Kounde will not be as expensive as Matthijs de Light.
Chelsea really need to get a new defender soon, because Chelsea have lost Rudiger and also Christensen.
