Thomas Tuchel identifies £36m transfer reunion with Thiago Silva protege to ease defender
crisis
Could Presnal Kimpembe solve our issues in the search for a new centre-back?
Some mixed reviews on this, but it looks like the Chelsea boss would be keen on a reunion
with the Frenchman.
Would I be against signing the PSG, man?
No.
Would I rather Antonio Rudiger stay so that we wouldn't be in this situation?
Yes.
It seems like PSG are lurking around the Rudiger situation at Chelsea and would like to put
their hands in the pool for the German, seeing as Real Madrid had taken theirs out.
Chelsea's interest in french defenders has reached its peak, with Jules Kounde being
of previous interest for the Blues.
It would be criminal, not at least to explore the possibility of Thomas Tuchel being reunited
with another defender that he is familiar with.
According to L’Equipe, Kimpembe is willing to leave PSG for a new challenge.
It doesn't get more challenging than the Premier League right?
Presnel Kimpembe is open to a move from PSG to the Premier League.
Thomas Tuchel is eyeing the situation.
The 26-year-old joined PSG as a ten-year-old and has been in good company since joining
their first team permanently.
He is following in the footsteps of Thiago Silva whilst being partnered with the likes
of Marquinhos.
Chelsea fans are keen on keeping Thiago Silva for another season.
However, they struggle to picture the perfect replacement.
How about the man who managed to fill his shoes upon his departure?
Whilst still playing next to one of the best central defenders in Europe, Marquinhos.
With PSG interested in Rudiger, sending their left-sided centre-back our way in return would
make sense.
According to FootMercato, PSG plans are set to make a bit for the German's signature and
have already offered him a financial package close to £6m-a-season.
The report goes on to say negotiations began in November.
With the congested backline that now includes Sergio Ramos, the fight for game time will
be intense.
It makes sense for Kimpembe to want a move away possibly.
The World Cup winner could be the missing piece that Chelsea is currently in need of.
However, the Blues could find their Rudiger replacement elsewhere.
There have been rumours circulating about Matthijs De Ligt, who's also left-sided centre-back
who has been in the game for years.
At 22, he has heaps of experience, including captaining his former club Ajax.
He learned and developed his game at Juventus from the famous defensive Italian duo, Leonardo
Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini.
I suppose he would not need to convince Chelsea fans why he would fit the shoe at the bridge.
There aren't many options for left-sided centre backs currently on the market.
If Tuchel plans to keep the three at the back formation, it would be imperative to get a
close match.
Thiago Silva has already worked with Kimpembe in the rise of his career.
There is an apparent reason as to why Tuchel may be keeping an eye on him in the first
place.
A player who understands Tuchel.
Who knows what it means to play for a top club under immense pressure and a player who
has already learned from our very own Thiago Silva.
It would be criminal not to consider Kimpembe as an option, especially if De Ligt somehow
doesn't find his way to west London.
