As reported by the journalist Matteo Moretto of the Relaythe Chelsea he is working on closing his first signing of the summer market to strengthen the defense after the confirmed departures of Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen, who ended their contract. We are talking about Nathan Ake.
Matteo Moretto confirms that the transfer is close to closing in the next few days and the offer that the Blue team has put on the table is almost 40 million euros, a price lower than what Manchester City invested at the time to get hold of his services from Bournemouth. It is an interesting option for the rotation or to be a starter if the German maintains the system of three central defenders for the coming campaign.
Chelsea want two signings to strengthen their defense for next season
The Dutchman is one of Pep Guardiola’s discards for next season. He hardly had minutes this season that just ended because he was the fourth piece of the rotation at the back, so he also wants to leave to have more continuity and continue to evolve on an individual level.
Chelsea’s intention is to incorporate two central defenders in this summer transfer market. The first to arrive will be Nathan Aké, who was trained in the categories of the Blue team, and it is expected that one more may arrive. The second wants him to be a more proven and world-class player. The three names that sound like Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli), Jules Koundé (Sevilla) and Gleison Bremer (Torino).
