Juventus want to use Chelsea striker Timo Werner as the makeweight in a deal for Matthijs de Ligt... as the Blues remain in talks for Manchester City duo Raheem Sterling and Nathan Ake

Juventus are focusing on Chelsea striker Timo Werner as the makeweight in a deal for Matthijs de Ligt who has expressed a willingness to move to Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have already seen a €40m (£34.4m) bid including Timo Werner for the Netherlands international rejected by the Old Lady - but are confident in getting a deal over the line.

Thomas Tuchel is hoping to make the Juventus defender his first acquisition of the summer window, whilst the club also remain in talks with Manchester City over duo Raheem Sterling and Nathan Ake.
