Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have left on free trades, to Genuine Madrid and Barcelona independently, while Kurt Zouma is yet to be displaced after he moved to West Ham last August.
That is left Chelsea with a developing Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah, Malang Sarr and Cesar Azpilicueta, who is even more a full-back, as Thomas Tuchel’s simply senior decisions – a little pool considering the German has involved three central defenders for a lot of his time in charge at Stamford Extension.
Chelsea are continuing to pursue long stretch objective Jules Kounde, notwithstanding the way that Barcelona are in like manner amped up for marking the Sevilla star, while they make certain of agreeing a game plan with Manchester City for past player Nathan Ake.
Napolli’s Kalidou Koulibaly, Paris Holy person Germain’s Presnel Kimpembe and Torino’s Gleison Bremer have moreover been tended to, yet their top goal has emerged as Juventus’ Matthijs de Ligt.
As it turns out, it is truly De Ligt who could make Upamecano available as Bayern have emerged as colossal rivals to Chelesa for the Dutchman. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, German and Dutch sources have told 90min that a progress to the Allianz Field is essentially more intelligent than one to Stamford Scaffold.
90min understands that Upamecano’s representatives are especially mindful of the interest in De Ligt and his appearance could set off an exit from Bayern for the Frenchman. With a World Cup opportunity coming toward the year’s end, the 23-year-old clearly can’t tolerate being sat on the seat with Lucas Hernandez the plausible most ideal choice accessory to De Ligt in Munich.

Should Upamecano become open, 90min has been educated that Chelsea would no ifs, ands or buts be ‘extraordinarily enthusiastic about’ marking him.
Bayern met Upamecano’s €42.5m release arrangement the past summer to prise him away from RB Leipzig and sources have advised 90min that the Bavarian beasts would expect to get something like €50m this mid year – that kind of figure would go very far to helping finance with any overseeing for De Ligt, who looks responsible to cost in overflow of €90m.
