Real Madrid’s veteran central defender Sergio Ramos is on Thomas Tuchel’s wishlist amid the onset of the summer transfer window in which the Chelsea gaffer is tipped to sign a new defender to bolster his ranks.
The imminent departure of Fikayo Tomori to long-term suitors AC Milan coupled with doubts ranging over Antonio Rudiger’s contract situation heading into the UEFA Euros means that Tuchel will keen eye on the market to bring in a new player.
Reports from Spanish news outlet Defensa Central claim that the 35-year-old Ramos is now on Tuchel’s radar with the Spanish international not able to agree upon extended terms with Madrid as his current deal comes to a close at the end of this month.
Failure to renew his contract with the Madrid giants could mean Ramos’ exit from Spain which will put Chelsea in the front running to secure his signature ahead of the 2021-22 season.
The centre-back will have time on his hands to decide his next playing destination as he is not a part of Luis Enrique’s 26-man squad that will be representing Spain in the forthcoming European Championships.
