talkSPORT: Chelsea has a new round of dialogue on Harto, with transfer fees expected to be £40 million

July 16th According to talksport, Chelsea has held a new round of dialogue on Ajax defender Jorell Harto.

talksport learned that Chelsea has held a new round of negotiations on Harto to explore strengthening the defense line. The defender is the focus of the Blues and is also within Liverpool's attention.

The 19-year-old Ajax youth training player is attractive because he can play both a center back and a left back. Chelsea is looking for a versatile left-back, as both Chilwell and Renato Vega are expected to leave this summer.

Cucurelia is the first left-back for head coach Maresca, but sometimes his substitute is played by Gusto or even Reese James, and both of them are right-backs.

Colville can also be used as a left back, and he was the starting point in the position in a 0-0 draw against Everton last season, but that is not the position he is best at.

Hato made 50 appearances for Ajax last season, scoring 3 goals, and has played 6 times for the Dutch national team. His contract with Ajax is 2028 and there is no termination clause in the contract. The report stated that although Ajax's external offer is as high as £60 million, the actual price of the transfer is expected to be about £40 million. No Premier League team has made a formal offer for the young player.

Harto is the type of young defender that Liverpool Sports Director Richard Hughes also appreciates, and the Reds are eager to introduce a left central defender aged 18-22. Guy will be the only exception to this rule, but Liverpool will not continue to push if the asking price of Crystal Palace remains above £45m.

Chelsea already has several central defenders, such as Colewell, Chaloba, Adarabioyu and Badiacile. Although Fofana is still out of the game with a hamstring injury, Saar is seen as a promising young star like Anselmino.

According to talkSPORT, Villarreal has contacted Di Sasi for this summer's transfer, and Chelsea hopes to receive a transfer fee of 25 million to 30 million pounds. Disasi is a non-main player under Maresca. He was loaned to Aston Villa in the second half of last season and did not participate in the Club World Cup with the team this summer.
