Chelsea are looking for a £10 million winger, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso set to leave.
After agreeing on personal terms with Barcelona,
Chelsea duo Azpilicueta and Alonso want to leave this summer, but the Spanish
giants have yet to agree on a fee. Thomas Tuchel does not want to lose two
senior players in a year in which he hopes to close the gap between the Blues,
Manchester City, and Liverpool. Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have
already left after their contracts expired, causing a major void.
With Azpilicueta and Alonso also departing, Chelsea's defence would be depleted, and progress in finding replacements has been slow. Jules Kounde, Nathan Ake, and Presnel Kimpembe have all been mentioned.

Manchester United's Eric Ten Hag insists that
Cristiano Ronaldo is "not for sale."
Despite missing the preseason tours of Thailand and Australia, new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag stated on Monday that Cristiano Ronaldo was "not for sale." Due to a family matter, Ronaldo missed the start of training with the English Premier League giants last week. The 37-year-old did not board the plane for the pre-season trip, citing a desire to leave following United's failure to qualify for the Champions League. Speaking on the eve of the Old Trafford club's "We are planning for Cristiano Ronaldo for the season and that's it," Ten Hag said ahead of the first pre-season friendly against Liverpool in Bangkok on Tuesday.
"I read it, but what I have to say is that
Cristiano is not for sale; he is part of our plans, and we want to succeed
together."
United's new Dutch manager revealed that he spoke with
the dissatisfied striker before reports that he wanted to leave surfaced last
week.
"I spoke with him before this issue arose,"
Ten Hag explained.
"I spoke with him, and we had a really good
conversation."
However, he refused to comment on the content of the
conversation, saying it was "between Cristiano and me." Ronaldo
reportedly asked to leave because he was dissatisfied with the club's
performance since his return to Manchester last year. They finished sixth in
the English Premier League, relegating them to the Europa League's second tier
for the following season. Ten Hag only joined United in May after leaving Ajax,
but he faces a huge challenge in rebuilding the Old Trafford club, which has
not won a trophy since 2017.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is 'lukewarm' on
Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar's position is revealed.
