The Blues and Reds secretly fought against the genius defender. Who will be the one who will spend 40 million pounds on Hato?

July 16th According to talkSPORT, Chelsea has started a new round of transfer negotiations on Ajax defensive star Harto. Coach Maresca regards the 19-year-old Dutch international as the number one target to strengthen the left back, because he is competent for the central defender and can play as a guest on the left, which just fills the vacancy of Chilville and Vega after possible leaving the team. Although Cucurella is firmly in the starting lineup in the Blues, his substitutes Gustto and James are both right-footed players, and Colewell is also more accustomed to being in the center, and the lineup thickness is obviously insufficient. For Ajax, the Harto contract only expires in 2028 and there is no termination fee clause. The Eredivisie giants insist on price 60 million pounds, but internal estimates that the buyer can close the price to 40 million pounds. It is worth noting that Liverpool has also been paying attention to Harto for a long time. The new sports director Hughes listed him as an ideal candidate for the "left central defender aged 18 to 22" signing template, but no official offer from Premier League teams has so far. As the summer window deepens, the secret battle between London and Merseyside may heat up.
