The most recent transfer news surrounding Chelsea has arrived, and it appears that the Blues are considering a number of high-profile players as they prepare to revamp Mauricio Pochettino’s squad during what could be a busy summer.
While many Chelsea supporters are currently focused on the upcoming cup final and are actively searching for Carabao Cup Final Tickets to ensure they don’t miss the opportunity to witness their team potentially lift a trophy, it’s important to remember that the transfer market is always active.
One player whose future is uncertain as his contract nears its end and he struggles for playing time is Thiago Silva. Recent reports suggest that the Blues are prioritizing the signing of a replacement center-back this summer.
Previously, players such as Ousmane Diomande and Jean-Clair Todibo have been linked with Chelsea for that position. However, it remains unclear who the club’s top choice is at the moment. Additionally, there are rumors of their former player Marc Guehi potentially moving this summer. While Chelsea may have the option to match any offer for him, it is uncertain whether they will do so, especially with Liverpool and Manchester United expressing interest.
Speaking of Liverpool, Ben Jacobs’ Daily Briefing column reports that the Reds continue to show interest in Chelsea’s Levi Colwill. Paris Saint-Germain is also said to be among the clubs interested in him. However, it seems unlikely that Chelsea would even consider letting him go this summer.
Reports from Italy have also linked Chelsea with Bologna’s talented young Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee. Manchester United, Arsenal, Juventus, and AC Milan are also reportedly interested in the player, who has been impressive in Serie A this season.
It is well-known that Chelsea is in need of a striker this summer, with Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney being linked with the club for some time. However, a younger and more affordable option like Zirkzee could also be on their radar. It is clear that there will be significant competition for his signature, as the player is expected to cost around €60 million, and Bayern Munich has a buy-back clause worth €40 million.
Finally, another big-name striker linked with Chelsea is Dusan Vlahovic, whose future at Juventus appears uncertain once again. If he were to move, it is likely that there would be interest from long-time admirers Arsenal and Tottenham as well.
