Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann has sent Chelsea a nine-word transfer message following reports that the Blues are targeting a move for Benjamin Pavard this summer.
Thomas Tuchel admitted that he wants to add at least one more defender to his squad prior to the transfer deadline. Kalidou Koulibaly has already made the move to Stamford Bridge after completing a £34million move from Napoli, following Raheem Sterling to west London.
football.london understands that Chelsea are extremely confident of signing Sevilla's Jules Kounde after the two clubs verbally agreed a £51million fee, whilst personal terms were agreed with the 23-year-old months ago. With the futures of Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta still uncertain, the Blues are searching for defensive reinforcements to add to their squad following Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen's departures earlier this summer.
