Chelsea agreeing move for La Liga No.3 defender and Bundesliga No.10 prolific midfielder
Chelsea are preparing an offer for Real Madrid centre-back Eder Militao. Chelsea are in the
market for a centre-back and are exploring every potential option before making an official
move. The Blues have lost Rudiger to Real Madrid while Christensen is on the verge of
a Barcelona move.
The German manager could lose other centre-backs as well with Azpilicueta and Alonso both entering
the final years of their respective deals. Thus, adding defensive reinforcements is on
top of the Blues’ priority list this summer, but they are yet to get a deal through the
line.
Chelsea are reportedly favourites to add Jules Kounde from Sevilla, who was close to moving
to the London club last summer, only for the Spanish giants to increase their demands at
the last minute. But the Blues aren’t alone in Jules Kounde’s pursuit, with Xavi making
the French defender his priority summer signing along with Lewandowski.
The Catalan giants will need to offload a few footballers before registering new additions,
thus, the Blues could be considered favourites for the Frenchman’s signature. If the Blues
do manage to convince Los Blancos to part ways with Eder Militao, it will make their
Jules Kounde pursuit quite complicated.
As per the report, Los Blancos could move in for Jules Kounde should they sell one of
their first-choice centre-backs, increasing competition for the Blues as a result. Nevertheless,
the Blues have set sights on another La Liga defender, with Real Madrid defender Eder Militao
popping up as a target.
Chelsea are prepared to fork out €200m to sign newer footballers and compete for the
league title as well as the UCL. While the priority is to sign new defenders and strikers,
the Blues are also looking to add a wide footballer. One of their premier options Alonso could
be ready for a move away from Chelsea amid interest from Barcelona.
Although the Blues have not particularly targeted a certain individual, they are keeping tabs
on Filip Kostic. Currently plying his trade for Eintracht Frankfurt, Serbia international
has been a revelation at the German club over the past couple of years.
Kostic has transformed himself into one of the most dangerous wide footballers in Europe,
thanks to his ability to whip in crosses into the box. Filip also brings a lot of energy
and experience to the table, making him a shrewd option for the Blues.
With Alonso ready to leave the London club, the 29-year-old attacker could prove to be
a wise investment for Chelsea as the German manager looks to add competition for Chilwell
ahead of the new campaign. The Serbian attacker has enjoyed immense success in the Bundesliga.
But the Serbian could undoubtedly fancy putting his skills to the test in the PL, where his
crossing prowess could become even more effective. The Blues, though, are keeping their options
open by targeting other footballers in the market.
