Chelsea would focus on Kimpembe and Koundé in defense

Presnel Kimpembe, 26-year-old central defender from Paris Saint-Germain whose contract ends in June 2024, is back in the rumor mill after those last summer, with several big clubs Europeans who would be interested. This Thursday, we were able to confirm that the Parisian Titi is thinking about a departure. Since then, an interest from Chelsea has been mentioned by several media, with possible competition from Juventus. This Thursday, journalist Christian Falk (Bild) made a new point and assures Chelsea’s priority is to advance for Jules Koundé (23, Sevilla FC) and Kimpembe rather than Benjamin Pavard (26, Bayern Munich) who has been mentioned in the sights of Blues.

TRUE✅ @ChelseaFC won’t go for Benjamin Pavard at the Moment, the Club want to finalize the Transfers of Jules Koundé @SevillaFC and Presnel Kimpembe @PSG_inside. Including Kalidou Koulibaly, Tuchel would have his new Center-backs complete

Nothing is impossible, but we must always be careful that it is still only a rumor and not an official announcement. Not to mention that Chelsea may want to recruit these players without succeeding. There is still no question of a question, especially in the case of Kimpembe. Which could also, according to the latest information, extend to PSG. We must therefore remain measured and patient until things are clarified by the parties concerned.
