The Blues are still in the running to make an offer to FC Barcelona for their flop midfield signing Miralem Pjanic who is heavily linked with a summer move away from Camp Nou.
Pjanic has failed to justify FC Barcelona’s decision to bring him to Spain from Juventus with the Bosnian international now on the fringes of the first-team squad at the club ahead of the start of the new campaign.
Chelsea have been backed to be in the race to land the signature of the 31-year-old midfield man and despite the recent talk suggesting that Thomas Tuchel was keen on improving his side in other departments. reports from football.london claim that Pjanic remains a target for the Chelsea boss this summer.
Tuchel has already shipped out the promising midfield talent Billy Gilmour to Premier League new boys Norwich City and will be looking to bring in a replacement from the transfer market to shore up his options in the centre of the park.
West Ham United’s wantaway first-teamer Declan Rice is tipped to be the top name on the wishlist for the Blues but should West Ham refuse his sale, Chelsea will be seen amping up their interest in making a move for Pjanic.
