Thomas Tuchel just landed on the Chelsea following the dismissal of Frank Lampard and is already working out ways to improve the squad for the next transfer market.
Especially the defense. So much so that the German coach has already drawn up a list with the three centrals that the ‘blues’ will target and who are ‘top’, according to the Daily Mail. Coincidence or not, all three are part of the Bundesliga: David Alaba and Niklas
Close (Bayern Munich) and Dayot upamecano (RB Leipzig).
One of these three would have to arrive in London to wear the shirt of the Chelsea the next summer. The most succulent is Alaba, but also one of the most complicated. The Austrian ends his contract this season and at Bayern they already give him up for lost. The problem is the competition to hire him, since teams like Madrid and Barça are after him.
A case similar to that of Upamecano. The Frenchman, one of the most promising centers on the international scene, does not end his contract but he does have a ‘reduced’ clause for what is a player of his characteristics. For 42 million euros the center-back will leave Leipzig, but the problem is that a certain Bayern Munich has him almost tied up as a replacement for David Alaba.
The third in dispute will not be an easy prey either. Niklas Süle is highly valued in Munich and even more so with the departure of David Alaba, which makes it unthinkable that the Bavarians are going to shed two of their elite defenses.
Chelsea already know what it is to sign in the Bundesliga
It is not strange for him Chelsea operate on German terrain. In fact, last summer they invested heavily to sign Timo Werner, also from Leipzig, for 53 million already Kai Havertz, from Bayer Leverkusen, for another 80 ‘kilos’.
However, this time it is expected that things can go better from the beginning, since neither of the two stars who have arrived in this course have met expectations, although they still have to acclimate to the club to get the best out of each one. .
