Transfer Gossip : Manchester City willing to pay £76 million for Matthijs de Ligt
Manchester City are willing to pay £76 million for Matthijs de Ligt, according to Tutto Juve via Caught Offside.
The Dutch defender is high up on Tuchel’s wishlist this summer. The German wants to add a world-class centre-back to his roster and has his eyes on the 22-year-old. Chelsea are working to take the Juventus defender to Stamford Bridge. However, City are ready to ruin their plans.
The reigning Premier League champions are expected to raise funds from the sale of Nathan Ake and Raheem Sterling. They are planning to use the amount to facilitate a move for De Ligt. That would be a huge blow to the Blues, who are eager to bolster their backline ahead of the new season.
