Chelsea have reportedly set their sights on a replacement for Thiago Silva, which could result into a bidding war with Real Madrid and PSG.
His Chelsea contract expires at the end of this term when he will be just about to turn 40. In his last two occasions where Chelsea had no players like Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Levi Colwill due to injuries, he has been missing from the squad after appearing in 23 premier league matches for the Blues this campaign.
As per stories by Evening Standard, Chelsea want to sign Lille’s Leny Yoro as a possible successor to Silva, they see him as an important addition to their team. Nevertheless, there are many others interested in having him in their team too.
Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also attracted by Yoro who would provide them with a squad depth for UEFA Champions League. The stiff competition that is going on means it is almost certain that he would be a good buy for any of Europe’s big teams because of his ability and potential.
Nonetheless, this has not stopped Chelsea from searching for more defenders. They are assessing other possibilities besides Yoro such as Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice and Ousmane Diomande from Sporting Lisbon also under consideration.
