Thomas Tuchel has revolutionized Chelsea since his arrival in London. The English coach remains invited in 13 matches played (9 wins and four draws) and classified the team to the UEFA Champions League Quarterfinals, where they will face FC Porto for a place in the semi-finals. A radical change compared to what was being seen with Frank Lampard.
For that reason, and taking into account that they want to start a new project with him as leader, the Chelsea board has put a blank check on him to be able to incorporate new pieces that fit into his game plan and that give him a competitive bonus individual to the team for the next season.
One of the positions that Tuchel is most interested in reinforcing at this time is the center because he wants to give continuity to the line of three defenders behind but needs higher quality variants to compete for the Premier League title and continue to grow in the Champions League.
As reported The Athletic, the German coach has a list with three names to strengthen the team in the next transfer market. All three are players that are more than proven at the European level and have shown significant growth in recent years.
The three plants that Tuchel has in his sights for the next market
-Niklas Sule: German is the first choice because he is to Tuchel’s taste and he has shown a lot of talent at Bayern Munich.
-Ibrahima Konate: The youngest option that can contribute much more to the team in the long term. His performance at Leipzig has exceeded everyone’s expectation.
-José María Giménez: The most proven and the most expensive you can get. The Uruguayan was already in the sights of Chelsea in the summer market but his signing could not be finalized.
