Chelsea is already busy this summer and soon they will step up their efforts to sign a new Central defender.
Chelsea has been exploring different options in the market, trying to find the right one for their defense. Marc Guehi has long been the target of Blues, but he seems to be gliding right now. Liverpool currently signs him in pole position, which is almost the reason for Chelsea’s loss.

Sources close to the situation have been informed Attracted by the side One of the names on Chelsea’s roster is Piero Hincapie, but Bayer Leverkusen have It is clear that they will not offer any discounts as Ecuador’s defender has €60m Release terms.
Another option is Jorrel Hato from Ajax. The young Dutch player was highly regarded and remains under the surveillance of the Blues. However, Arsenal has had a positive conversation with the players recently and his signature may be a strong opponent.
Chelsea are also very interested in Diomande. Maresca thinks he is one of the best additions to strengthening the defense. The Blues hope to negotiate with Sporting CP, hoping to reduce the release clauses for players. Sports can assess offers with slightly lower offers, but Chelsea would rather reduce payments and increase bonuses to reach a fair price. Real Madrid and Newcastle are also clubs that are interested in him.
Finally, Chelsea also asked Nottingham Forest to provide the latest information about Murillo. Brazil’s defender was already following the club in January, but the asking price is believed to be more than €80m.
The specific attempts of who Chelsea are signing remains to be seen. Anyone on the roster will be a great addition to Enzo Maresca’s team, which will be heavily addressed before the 2025-26 season in August.
