The Chelsea is working on planning its squad for the upcoming Premier League season, with the intention of taking the championship title from Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and becoming the best team in England.
The set of Thomas Tuchel He is in search of a new center-back for next season, because Kurt Zouma will leave this summer and the German coach wants to sign a world-class center-back, who can become the leader of the defensive phase and who can replace Thiago Silva in that long-term role. He has three options to get there this summer, although the main goal remains to sign Erling Braut Haaland for the lead.
The three centrals that Chelsea watch over for the summer
-Jules Koundé: Number one on the list. The Frenchman is one of the best young center-backs in Europe and is ready to make the leap to a team capable of winning the UEFA Champions League. The main problem is that his purchase price is 70 million euros, so they do not have to decide between him and Haaland, or sell to other players to settle their scores. Tottenham also has him in their sights.
-Diego Carlos: The plan B of Sevilla. The Brazilian is a profile that fits perfectly within the system of three centrals, taking into account his main deficiencies, he can be shoved with two players at his sides. Its price is much lower than that of Koundé, making it a much more reliable option. Roma also has it in their sights.
-Presnel Kimpembe: The third option. His departure will depend on the situation of Sergio Ramos and Mauricio Pochettino’s intention to play with three center-backs for next season.
