# Chelsea have €30m Caldara bid rejected

Chelsea have reportedly seen a €30 million bid for Juventus defender Mattia Caldara rejected.

[According to Gianluca Di Marzio](https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/juventus-il-punto-sul-mercato-in-uscita-offerte-anche-per-caldara), both Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund have made moves for the player.

Dortmund are said to have offered €35 million, plus an extra €5 million in bonuses, but it is unclear whether or not Juventus would be interested in a sale.

Caldara, who spent last season on loan at Atalanta, has only recently returned to Juventus and was being tipped to play a big part in their squad going forward.

The Italian youngster becomes the latest name to be linked with Chelsea, with the Blues closing in on the signing of Daniele Rugani.

Gonzalo Higuain and Miralem Pjanic have also been discussed transfer targets this summer.

It was the return of Caldara that has allowed Juventus to happily move Rugani on, with the defender reportedly agreeing personal terms to join Chelsea.
