Blue Bridge Defense Line is replacing and speeding up, Chelsea chases Ajax for 60 million

July 26th - Blue Bridge's reinforcement focus this summer is quietly shifting from the front line to the back defense. After the Club World Cup wins, Chelsea has already held two intercontinental trophys, and the team's morale and the Champions League qualification are in place. Maresca hopes to use a thicker defense line to attack the new season. After Drapp and Joao Pedro solved the goal problem, the club targeted the 19-year-old Ajax captain Harto. This Dutch central defender, known as the "New Van Dijk" in the industry, is 1.92 meters tall and has delicate left foot skills. He contributed 2 goals and 6 assists in 31 games last season, averaged 7.8 goals and averaging 74%. Maresca praised his "multi-facedness and leadership temperament" in an internal meeting. The technical department has submitted a quotation of 50 million euros, while the Jia family insists on 60 million yuan, and the 10 million gap between the two sides is still in a tug-of-war. Arsenal had led the battle before, but the Gunners' forward signings were blocked and their attention was temporarily diverted, and Chelsea took the opportunity to speed up negotiations. If the transaction is completed, Harto will form the cornerstone of the three central defenders in the next ten years, and the Blues' defense line replacement plan will be completed ahead of schedule.
