Boost for Chelsea, Man Utd and other as this star player is set to leave Juventus

Chelsea and other top European clubs have been given a transfer boost ahead of the next summer transfer window.

This comes as popular football agent Mino Raiola in latest statement confirmed that Matthijs de Ligt is eager to leave Juventus and seek a new challenge next summer.

Juventus signed the Dutch international in 2019, and he has since made 94 appearances for the club in all competitions.

However, the Old Ladies have struggled to continue their recent success in the past two campaigns, missing out on the Serie A title for the first time since 2010-11 the last term.

They are also seated at seventh in the table this season, which means they might miss European football next season.

De Ligt’s agent has now confirmed that the young defender is “ready for a new step”, while suggesting that the EPL could be his next destination.

The likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur have at some points been linked with interest in De Ligt.

Raiola, however, revealed that there are also infest from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

“I think we all know which clubs to mention for Matthijs de Ligt as ‘next step’. We will see this summer,” Raiola told NOS.

“Premier League? It can be Barcelona too, or Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain.”

Chelsea would hope to sign the Dutch defender, especially as their defenders Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta are likely to leave at the end of this season.
