“Kalidou Koulibaly is the second player to join Chelsea this summer! The defender arrives from Napoli and has signed a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge. Koulibaly, international teammate of Edouard Mendy, will considerably strengthen our defensive options following the departures of Toni Rüdiger (Real Madrid) and Andreas Christensen (FC Barcelona). Here is what Chelsea said on July 16, delighted by the arrival of the Senegalese international (62 selections). Yes but here it is. Since then, calm has reigned at Stamford Bridge. Something to annoy Thomas Tuchel, worried about the turn of events on this summer transfer windowdespite the arrival of Raheem Sterling in attack.
And for good reason. Despite these two major reinforcements, the Blues – who already have Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah, Matt Miazga, Ethan Ampadu and Malang Sarr in their defense – have every intention of getting their hands on a new profile, capable of evolve into a central hinge. With this in mind, the upper echelons of London have been busy in recent weeks, but one failure after another is resounding and the doors keep closing. Just doubled by Barça for Jules KoundéChelsea is progressing in slow motion, as evidenced by the other files undertaken. As we revealed to you recentlyif Thomas Tuchel spoke with Presnel Kimpembe, the defender of Paris Saint-Germain continues, for his part, his preparation with the club of the capital and his departure to London remains, for the time being, uncertain.
The Blues can’t do it!
A delicate operation like Benjamin Pavard. Cited among the potential targets of the Blues, the French international should not, however, leave Bavaria during the summer transfer window. Information revealed this Friday by The team. Asked about this, the Bayern Munich defender, for his part, sowed confusion about his future. “I don’t know, honestly”affirmed, in this respect, Pavard in remarks relayed by Sport1. And what about Wesley Fofana, one of the most promising talents of his generation.
Coveted by the Blues, the native of Marseille, already referenced in the Premier League where he made his mark with Leicester (49 matches, 1 goal and 1 offering), is now deemed untransferable by the Foxes. If a new blow is therefore looming for Thomas Tuchel and his family with the 21-year-old former Stéphanois, Chelsea still keeps hope. Still at Bayern Munich, Dayot Upamecano – now in competition with Matthijs De Ligt – could also be the chosen one to “replace” Koundé. Finally, Josko Gvardiol – the Croatian international from RB Leipzig – and Pau Torres – the Spanish international from Villarreal, also coveted by other big teams in the country like Manchester United and Tottenham – also remain in the sights of the London club. One thing is certain, Chelsea is struggling, for the time being, to find happiness.
