Posted on October 26, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. by Th.B. As Antonio Rüdiger gets considerably closer to a Chelsea departure, the Blues are said to be determined to put a damper on FC Barcelona in the race to sign Matthijs de Ligt. FC Barcelona could again initiate its interest in Matthijs De Ligt after having suffered a bitter setback in the summer of 2019 when the then captain of the Ajax Amsterdam made the choice to snub PSG and Barça for Juventus . Not indisputable within the central hinge of the Old Lady, De Ligt could see his agent Mino Raiola him look for a way out according to calciomercato.com which recently evoked a flashback between FC Barcelona and De Ligt since contacts would have taken place between the club culé and the entourage of the Dutch central defender, as well as with Chelsea. However, according to Eurosport UK, Chelsea's interest should certainly not be taken lightly. Indeed, according to the British media, the Blues would seriously consider trying their luck with Matthijs de Ligt as part of the potential of Antonio Rüdiger next summer, which would become more and more important due to the lack of progressions between the London club and the Rüdiger clan at the level of an extension of his contract only running until June 30, 2022. The Rüdiger page would turn to Chelsea and that should not do FC Barcelona's business with From Ligt .
