Ajax have told Chelsea it will cost them £22.4m to sign Nicolas Tagliafico in the summer transfer window. It came after the Blues made the Argentina international a top target following pursuits for Ben Chilwell and Alex Telles.
Leicester have slapped a huge asking price on Chilwell, one that Frank Lampard knows the club cannot afford. And Paris St-Germain are rumoured to be ahead in the race for Porto's Telles.
Tagliafico, on the other hand, looks set to leave Ajax after two and a half years at the club. The 27-year-old has been famed for his lung-bursting runs forward and his impressive stamina.
He was a major part of the side that reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2019, beating Real Madrid and Juventus along the way.
