Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is reportedly set to complete a mass overhaul of the club’s defensive department with a number of players on his shortlist.
The Blues are expected to go through a shake-up of their squad during the off-season once Todd Boehly’s protracted takeover is completed. It remains to be seen when the deal will be officially signed-off but regardless, the West London club already have a comprehensive list of transfer targets compiled.
According to The Athletic, Chelsea are anticipating the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen at the expiry of their contracts next month. Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively have been linked with the pair, who have played important roles since Tuchel took over one-and-a-half years ago.
