Chelsea have a big summer in front of them with numerous central defenders being looked at as they look to replace Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.

The 23-year-old now has just over two years remaining on his contract with the Seville-based outfit and he wants to leave the club before the start of next season. "I have peace of mind being where they want me, at the club of my life and I have this offer right now as I value as very positive. football.london understands that Jules Kounde is the club's priority target this summer as the Blues look to bring the talented Sevilla centre-back to the club a year after just missing out on him. As the summer transfer window approaches, the task for Chelsea is a difficult one: close the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool ahead of the new season. Likewise, Andreas Christensen looks to join his team-mate out of the exit door, with Barcelona interested in the Denmark international. In truth, the Premier League's top two were seemingly in a league of their own last time out.

Several players are eyeing moves elsewhere, including Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger who are both set to leave at the end of their Chelsea contracts in ...

"We will still work for Chelsea and I refuse to think of negative scenarios. Monaco are set to demand a fee of €80 million, which could hand Boehly's Chelsea a boost if he is to look for a marquee summer signing, and one for the future. Reports revealed that the reigning World and European Champions 'could' be in contention to sign the Munich man this summer and if Boehly is looking for a man to find the net after Romelu Lukaku's struggles, look no further. He has still not agreed a contract renewal at Barcelona or a transfer elsewhere as the latest reports have stated that Boehly is keen to re-open talks with the French star, if he is still available. What I can promise is that I will be here if I can promise that! I will be here with full energy and positive energy no matter what. Tuchel is a 'big fan' of the defender, and if the statistics aren't good enough for the new ownership, the fact that the head coach wants him should be more than enough to warrant the transfer. Chelsea have been scouting Gvardiol ahead of a potential summer move, with the 20-year-old one of the hottest prospects in world football. The Senegalese international was prised out of a move to Stamford Bridge but with his contract coming to an end at Napoli in 2023, Chelsea could secure his services at a cut-price. If Cesar Azpilicueta decides to move on at the end of the season, Koulibaly could bring an experienced head to the Chelsea back-line as the 30-year-old has plenty of matches under his belt in the Serie A. With Christensen and Rudiger departing, it is extremely likely the 23-year-old will join Tuchel's side this summer as he is 'convinced' he will become a Chelsea player this summer after being spotted in London. The Blues finished third in the Premier League and are keen to add to their squad, with Boehly reportedly set to invest heavily in the Chelsea squad, handing a £200 million budget to Tuchel during his consortium's first summer in charge to rebuild the squad.

Chelsea have finally been taken over by a consortium led by American investor Todd Boehly after months of uncertainty at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are in need of a striker who can consistently put the ball in the back of the net. The Blues were desperate to land Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde last summer, but a move never materialised. And he would surely be a big hit at the club after illustrating what he can do during his time in the Bundesliga. RB Leipzig striker Christopher Nkunku is another player who had no issues finding the back of the net last season. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will be desperate to bolster his midfield, with concerns over the long-term fitness of N’Golo Kante, who was hit by a series of injuries last season. And the Blues will surely have been regretting their decision in recent years.

In Spain, the 23-year-old has two years left on his deal. And the Blues will undoubtedly have come to rue their decision in subsequent years. “Our vision as owners is clear: we want to make the fans proud. Nkunku also assisted his teammates 20 times. Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund is one of the top young midfielders in the world and has been tipped to return to England and sign for Liverpool. “We’re all in – 100 per cent – every minute of every match,” Boehly said after the deal had been completed.
