Priority Chelsea defensive target is ‘expected to stay’ at his club this summer | OneFootball

Chelsea have a number of centre-back targets they are looking at to come in and replace the departing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer.

We’re seeing many names linked, and the only one that is in agreement with every single report is Jules Kounde of Sevilla.

Sources: Romelu Lukaku not ready to give up on Chelsea dream yet.

This one has a feel of inevitability. But another name is also quite regular on the list of priority targets being reported, and that is RB Leipzig centre-back Josko Gvardiol, who is reportedly wanted by Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea.

However, we had the hugely reliable Chelsea insider and Gianluca Di Marzio staff writer Nathan Gissing on our The Si and Dan Talk Chelsea Podcast yesterday, and one of the many subjects and reports Nathan gave was on the situation of Gvardiol. He also delivered a few other big bits of inside info on our pending transfer window plans.

According to his information, Gvardiol is expected to stay at his club this summer, meaning a move to Chelsea is now very unlikely to happen at this moment.
