Juventus' pursuit of Chelsea contract rebels Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen could allow the Blues a free run at Matthijs de Ligt who is reportedly considering his future in Italy.
It is common knowledge now that Thomas Tuchel is keen to sign a centre-back or two in the upcoming summer transfer window to make up for a rather quiet January period.
Jules Kounde and Niklas Sule are two names high up on that specific list but others like Marquinhos and de Ligt are also appreciated by the Chelsea board.
