Chelsea target De Ligt agrees Bayern Munich terms - thanks to Salihamidžić

Bayern Munich have jumped ahead of Chelsea in the race for Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt.

Chelsea and Juve have been in talks for over a week about De Ligt, who is open to moving to London this summer.

However, Sport1 says De Ligt has now agreed personal terms with Bayern.

Bayern were beaten by Juve to the signing of De Ligt from Ajax in 2019, but their sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić has kept in touch since then - which has impressed the player.

Bayern are currently unaware of the exact price tag and Salihamidžić plans to start negotiations with Juventus this week.
