After enlisting Kalidou Koulibaly against 40 M€, Chelsea is still looking for reinforcements in central defense while Nathan Aké, announced in the sights of the English club, will finally stay at Manchester City according to several concordant sources. Thomas Tuchel’s Blues are still interested in Presnel Kimpembe, still under contract with PSG until 2024.
According to the latest information from Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea is also in direct negotiations with PSG about the 26-year-old French international central defender (28 caps). The Italian journalist assures that the French club is claiming between €60m and €65m for its Parisian titi while the English club says it is ready to offer between €45m and €50m. This source adds that the 2018 world champion is considered transferable by Paris in the event of a good offer.

A few days ago, The Independent explained for its part that the PSG claimed 50 M€ + 10 M€ bonus for Presnel Kimpembe and that the distance with Chelsea was 20 M€. It remains to be seen where the truth lies between these different figures. Anyway, the file seems to be entering a concrete phase, while the Parisian titi had publicly questioned his future in recent weeks.
