Chelsea are said to open talks with 19 year old superstar. The player is already on the radar of Liverpool. He can be signed for €50 million in the summer window.
Chelsea are back in UCL and hence will try to sign some more players. They are keen to improve all positions. But, their top priority will the defensive unit. The Blues are keen to sign atleast 2-3 new defenders as many are set to leave.
On the other hand, Liverpool have successfully extended the contract of Virgil van Dijk. But, they are keen to add another defender anyways. Van Dijk is now heading towards end of his career. In addition, Konate has been linked with away move. Lastly, Quansah has failed to impress.

Hato is only 19 years old but has been main player for Ajax since last 3 seasons. He is capable of playing as both left-back and centre-back. He has also made his debut for Netherlands national team whom he has represented 6 times so far.
Ajax are demanding €50 million for Hato ahead of summer window. They are unwilling to lower their demands due to player’s age and demand in market. Both Chelsea and Liverpool are capable of spending this amount considering the fact that they will view him as a long-term investment.
Chelsea are set to part ways with Disasi, Chalobah and Veiga. In addition, they can also sell Badiashile and Fofana if any right offer arises. Hence, they will be able to comply with PSR and spend freely on top defenders this summer.
