Chelsea entering Mino Raiola's good books could pave the way to a major coup next summer.
Chelsea could steal a march on their rivals in the hunt for Erling Haaland by using Mino Raiola's latest threat to their advantage. Raiola has reportedly threatened to take his client Matthijs de Ligt away from Juventus at the end of the season.
According to Calciomercato, he isn't happy with De Ligt's current situation in Turin and has contact Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester City over his availability.
While the 22-year-old is 'fine' at Juventus, Raiola has 'different ideas' and is pushing for his client to depart.
The Old Lady have no intention of selling De Ligt, and any suitors would need to meet his £126.6million (€150m) release clause.
There are currently no signs of Barcelona, Chelsea or Man City making a move for the Netherlands international.
If Chelsea were to please Raiola by completing the blockbuster capture of De Ligt, it would put them in good stead to sign another of his clients.
Haaland will be available for £64m next summer and, as a result, the target of several European heavyweights.
If the Blues were to sign De Ligt, Raiola would perhaps give Thomas Tuchel preference in the race for Haaland.
