Chelsea are reportedly looking to move in for Bayern Munich’s versatile defender Benjamin Pavard to bolster their defence ranks before the next season kicks off.
Thomas Tuchel’s repeated efforts to add to his backline, barring the snapping up of Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli, have failed to bear results with the likes of Jules Kounde and Presnel Kimpembe turning down transfers to Stamford Bridge.
Kalidou Koulibaly’s arrival gives Chelsea some much-needed depth in the centre-back role but with uncertainty looming over Cesar Azpilicueta’s future, Tuchel would be keen to bring in another centre-back in the summer window.
According to a report from football.london, the latest name to emerge on Chelsea’s transfer radar is that of Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard with the Frenchman open to the idea of signing for the west London giants.
Azpilicueta is wanted by FC Barcelona with the Catalan giants, despite their well-documented financial troubles, hoping to complete the deal to sign the Blues skipper who has his heart set on a ‘dream move’ to Camp Nou.
