Matthijs de Ligt is interested in a summer move to Chelsea - with the club planning more talks with Juventus this week over a potential £65million move.
Chelsea have lost centre backs Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers to Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively at the end of their contracts this summer, with Cesar Azpilicueta also a potential departure.
And Blues manager Thomas Tuchel wants to fix his defence as a top priority, with negotiations planned over the next few days to try and secure de Ligt's signature.
