Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has added Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe and Jose Gimenez of Atletico Madrid to his list of summer targets, according to reports.
The Blues are widely expected to sign at least one new central defender in advance of next season to replace Antonio Rudiger, who is set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer over the coming months.
Gimenez is said to be another target for Chelsea as Tuchel looks to bring in a new leader at the back to succeed Rudiger in the not-too-distant future.
The Atletico Madrid defender has been a mainstay for his club when fit over the course of this season but has been forced to miss a large chunk of the action due to injuries and COVID-19.
It seems as though Chelsea will be forced to play catch-up to their Premier League rivals in the summer market due to their ongoing takeover process, which could reportedly be pushed through by the end of next month.
Tuchel recently admitted that it will be difficult to achieve his transfer objectives until the club’s off-field situation is resolved but insisted that he remains optimistic about the prospect of improving his squad ahead of next season.
