Chelsea could reportedly throw in Timo Werner as part of a deal to sign Juventus centre-back Matthijs De Ligt.
Thomas Tuchel is keen to bolster his side's defence while De Ligt reportedly wants to leave the Bianconeri after talks over a new contract broke down in an explosive meeting with the club.
Sky Sports Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio has reported that Chelsea are preparing a £38million bid, plus Werner, for the 22-year-old Dutchman.
It's added that the Bianconeri would want more for a player who has a release clause worth £103million.
