Chelsea are reportedly targeting Juventus defender Merih Demiral in a surprise swap deal as Thomas Tuchel looks to add to his defensive options this summer.
The Blues have already lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer with both players set to make the move to La Liga. Jules Kounde is Chelsea's priority for a defensive signing, with Milan Skriniar, Matthijs de Ligt and Merih Demiral all being linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as well.
Demiral spent last season on-loan with Atalanta but the club refused to act on their option-to-buy clause meaning the Turkish defender will return to Juve. According to reports, Blues' midfielder Jorginho could be used in a potential swap-deal as Tuchel looks to reshape his squad ahead of next season.
