Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has reportedly held a meeting over a potential deal for Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. Ahead of the two sides’ clash at Stamford Bridge last week, which saw the Blues progress to the Champions League quarter-finals at the Germans’ expense, Boehly met with Kobel’s representative to discuss the possibility of a move to west London.
As German outlet Sport1 reports, talks were held discreetly ahead of the crunch second-leg tie in London. Chelsea are said to be 'very interested' in the Swiss shot-stopper, who has impressed at Signal Iduna Park since joining from Stuttgart for £12.8million in 2021.
The Blues are among a number of upper-end Premier League sides looking to upgrade their goalkeeper department this summer, most notably alongside Manchester United and Tottenham. Boehly, therefore, seems keen to place his side at the front of any prospective queue for the sought-after 25-year-old.
