According to Sky Germany, Bayern Munich is interested in acquiring Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus.
As Thomas Tuchel searches for Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen replacements, De Ligt is Chelsea's top defensive target this summer.
Rudiger and Christensen left the Blues this summer as free agents.
However, it is understood that talks between Bayern and Juve are already well under way.
After hearing Hasan Salihamidzic and Julian Nagelsmann's pitch for the Bayern project, the Dutch defender is also excited about the move.
De Ligt is worth closer to £86m (or €100m) to Juventus, which is almost £10m more than what they paid Ajax three years prior.
