Chelsea has a double objective for the defense, which also concerns AC Milan.
Thomas Tuchel, who recently arrived to the Chelsea bench, is already looking carefully at the summer transfer market and in particular for a double strike in defense.
According to the Sun, the German manager would be watching carefully in the Bundesliga and would have identified in Nicklas Sule of Bayern Munich and in Dayot Upamecano from RB Leipzig. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will aim to sign both, but from England they point out that a new central defender is a priority for the London club.
The fact that Chelsea are interested in a new central defender can also be of great interest to Milan. The Rossoneri club bought Fikayo Tomori on loan with a buy-option in January.
Tomori has unique characteristics in the Rossoneri squad: he attacks tall opponents and has great speed. The fixed option to buy is around 28 million euros, but it is not certain that Chelsea won't lower their claims since they are looking for different profiles. The goal for Chelsea is to raise cash and then invest in the French or German defender. The will of the defender should also count a lot as he already convinced Maldini and Massara, as reported by calciomercato.it
