According to reports, Chelsea are expected to be active in their pursuit of a fresh central defender this summer, as it is anticipated that Thiago Silva will depart from the club.
After a challenging first season under Mauricio Pochettino, the Blues find themselves in mid-table, and it is likely that they will continue to make alterations to their squad during the upcoming transfer window.
A particular area that may require reinforcement is their defense, as it seems that Thiago Silva will bid farewell to Stamford Bridge when his contract expires this summer, as stated by the Telegraph.
Now at the age of 39, Silva’s position in the Chelsea starting lineup is no longer guaranteed, thus presenting an opportune moment to construct a revamped defensive line.
In recent times, Axel Disasi has showcased impressive form, and Chelsea also possess promising young defenders such as Levi Colwill and Benoit Badiashile, who could assume more prominent roles in the next season.
While it remains unclear whether Chelsea will consider re-signing Marc Guehi, who has caught the attention of Liverpool following his impressive performances at Crystal Palace, it would be wise for the club to explore alternative options.
