According to a report, Chelsea have hold official talks with a world-class midfielder to join the Blues this summer at Stamford Bridge.
Thomas Tuchel is set to make
major signings over the summer transfer window after seeing his team struggle
towards the end of the 2020/2022 season.
Reinforcing the midfield is
the priority of Chelsea even though he has got star players like Ngolo Kante,
Jorginho and Matteo Kovacic to his disposal.
West Ham United
Declan Rice is the major priority, but the £90 million price tag of the star
Englishman has become a major set back of any pursuit from Chelsea.
According to sources, Thomas Tuchel has told
the Chelsea board to sign an alternative target who was his former player when
he was managing Borussia Dortmund.
The reports claim that Benfica and former
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julien Weigl is the major priority for the Blues.
Chelsea
has already opened official talks with his representatives on a potential move
to Stamford Bridge in the summer transfer window.
A
deal not more than £40 million will please Benfica to let the player join
Chelsea some seasons after making a move to Portugal.
