Juventus is open to offers for Matthijs de Ligt, and as expected, the top European clubs want to sign him.
The defender is one of the most recognisable names on the continent, and he is one of the Bianconeri best players.
Juve would love to keep him, but his reluctance to sign a contract extension means they must sell him now.
Chelsea looks to be in the driving seat for his signature, but they are not alone.
The Blues are being rivalled by Bayern Munich, who have also tabled an offer for his signature.
Sky Germany, as reported by Tuttomercatoweb, claims the Bavarians offered Benjamin Pavard as a part of their bid for De Ligt.
However, Juve turned it down immediately because they have no interest in a player exchange.
Instead, the Bianconeri want a straight cash offer, but Bayern can only offer up to 60m euros.
Juve FC Says
De Ligt is arguably the top two most valuable players at Juventus now, and we must make a huge fee from his departure.
Bayern knows he is worth more than 60m euros, and that is why they have offered to add a player.
Chelsea looks the most likely team to sign him, and it would be interesting to see how high they can go.

if no one matches at least 85m then he stays. it`s up to him to convince teams to pay for him. hopefully arriva and the gang won`t let it drag on, give him til mid july or he stays. bayern`s bid is an absolute insult, shameful. I know you have to start negotiations somewhere, but a slap in the face isn`t a good idea. Not sure how or why they think we`d agree to that, player will is only half the battle, especially with more than one season left on the contract.
but still better to do it now
We could really use a player like Pavard but that offer is insulting. I would expect at least 100 plus Pavard.
It’s amazing how powerful players and their agents have become to make decisions instead of the club. That’s ridiculous.
Pavard is on the same level as de LIGT, so 50 Mio or so and Pavard would be an absolute bargain!
