Chelsea Coach Thomas Tuchel has his eyes set on summer transfer window and the club, managers are understood to be in the market for a new top striker with Romelu Lukaku and Erling Haaland on their shortlist.
According to the Sunday World, the Chelsea first-team coach has
taken his own list of top strikers to the management board, who he feels can
represent.
The Brazil international spent just over two years playing under
Tuchel at PSG and formed a solid partnership alongside Thiago Silva, who has
thrived at Chelsea since making the move to Stamford Bridge on a free transfer
last summer.
However, the management board would find it difficult to
facilitate the reunion between coach and player because Marquinhos still has
three years remaining on his contract with PSG this summer.
The Sunday World’s report also claims that Chelsea
have made Jadon Sancho their ‘top target’ ahead of the summer
window as they are looking to strengthen their squad the more. They are in the
race with strong sides Manchester United and Liverpool.
Marquinhos was a key player for Thomas Tuchel at PSG,
leading the french side to win another league title yet again. Speaking last
week, Tuchel admitted he would give his own opinions to Chelsea’s management
board about their transfer targets and opines that if the names he gave were
not able to get on board, he wouldn’t be angry, afterall, they are his bosses.
‘I have opinions about what we can add
to the group to get better,’ said Tuchel.
‘This is my job and I will give my opinion and I am asked my
opinion and we will do this and sometimes opinions change.
‘This is also a process and I have my ideas of course. I
have ideas of certain profiles
‘This is not about me wishing for this player A and B and if
they don’t come I will get angry. This was never like this in my whole career.
This will not be like this in Chelsea too’. Tuchel said
