The Blues have been making moves for various defenders and attackers in recent weeks, but Jacobs says the Juventus star is the man Tuchel really wants.
What is the latest news involving De Ligt?
According to The Telegraph, Chelsea’s talks with Juventus over a deal for De Ligt are progressing.
It is believed that the Italian giants want the £102m clause in the Dutchman’s contract to be paid, but there is an acceptance that they may have to say yes to less due to his desire to leave the club.
The same Telegraph report also states that Chelsea are open to including Christian Pulisic or Timo Werner in any potential deal, which should help the west London outfit’s bid.
As well as De Ligt, Chelsea are also trying to sign Manchester City duo Raheem Sterling and Nathan Ake as Tuchel looks to close the gap on the Premier League’s top two teams.
