Juventus 'open to Matthijs de Ligt sale'

Juventus are reportedly open to allowing Matthijs de Ligt to leave for the right price during the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old is more than halfway through his long-term contract in Turin, making a total of 100 appearances in all competitions.

However, despite remaining as a regular in the starting lineup, speculation persists that Juventus may be prepared to cash in on a player who cost £67.5m in 2019.

According to Sport Mediaset, Juventus are willing to entertain offers for the Netherlands international, who is said to be a target for Chelsea.

The European champions are in the market for at least one centre-back as they prepare for the potential exits of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.

The report adds that De Ligt, whose contract runs until 2024, is open to taking on a new challenge in the summer.
