EKO HOT BLOG reports that Thomas Tuchel’s side have considered offering Juve Timo Werner or Christian Pulisic as part of a lucrative package for De Ligt.
Chelsea have several players within their squad facing uncertain futures in west London and the Blues would be prepared to include them as makeweight.
However, reports suggest that Juve are not interested in taking any Chelsea stars in a deal because they only want cash for the centre-back.
Werner is a player that has been floated to the Italian giants earlier this year when his agent met with officials from the Bianconeri.
But Chelsea may have to focus their efforts on finding buyers for the likes of Werner and Pulisic to bolster their spending power.
De Ligt certainly won’t come cheap with Juventus expected to demand a premium for the former Manchester United target.
He has two years remaining on his contract in Turin, meaning the Italian giants do not feel under huge pressure to sell.
Chelsea are also interested in Jules Kounde, who is a long-standing target of Tuchel’s.
The Blues made a £42.5m bid for the Frenchman last August which was rebuffed by Sevilla.
They are expected to return although this time around, Sevilla will demand up to £60m before agreeing to a sale.

Manchester City defender Nathan Ake is also seemingly of interest to Chelsea, who sold him to Bournemouth in the summer of 2017.
Chelsea are yet to make any new signings due to the delays they faced following the completion of Todd Boehly’s takeover.
