Maurizio Arrivabene, Juventus CEO, left the door open to a possible departure of Dutchman Matthijs De Ligt, who is under contract until 2024, one of the most talked-about names at the start of the transfer window.

"Today it is impossible to keep a player who wants to leave ... Those who have the money, win," said the Juventus boss in an interview with 'Tuttosport'.

In Italy, the continuity of De Ligt in the 'bianconero' team is not taken for granted. Chelsea, which has lost defender Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid) and may also lose Andreas Christensen (to Barcelona), is one of the teams, according to local media reports, most interested in acquiring the services of the 22-year-old center back to cover the casualties in that line.

Manchester United and City have reportedly joined Chelsea in the race for Matthijs de Ligt, who is pushing to leave Juventus.

How much is de Ligt worth?

Juventus want to sell him for a plain cash offer without including any player in a swap deal. The only offer they’ve received so far is from Chelsea: €40m plus Timo Werner or Christian Pulisic.
Football Italia understands that Juventus could entertain potential suitors for an offer in the region of €90-100 million. Juventus wanted to extend De Ligt’s contract, but the player has put negotiations on hold, asking to leave the Italian side in the summer.
