Chelsea Transfer News: Frenkie de Jong, Gavi and Sergino Dest on Tuchel’s radar.
Chelsea are reportedly considering a move for three players from Barcelona.
The ‘blues’ are also pending Barcelona’s right-back Sergino Dest.
The report also adds that the Premier League side could pay around €60m for De Jong, €50m for Gavi and €20m for Dest.
De Jong has fallen out of favor at Barcelona since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez as manager and the Dutchman has been linked with a departure in recent weeks.
Chelsea could definitely use a top-class midfielder and De Jong would be a smart long-term acquisition for them. He could be the ideal long-term replacement for Jorginho at Stamford Bridge.
Furthermore, Gavi also has the potential to become a world-class footballer and the youngster would be an excellent long-term investment for the Premier League giants. He has already established himself as a first-team player for the Catalan club.
Meanwhile, Dest has proven to be one of the best right-backs in the Spanish league at the moment and would also be an exciting addition to Chelsea. However, the Blues have a quality right back in Reece James and it will be interesting to see how Thomas Tuchel accommodates both of them in his starting lineup.
That said, Dest is very impressive going forward and could operate as a full-back or defensive winger.
All three players could prove to be excellent signings for Chelsea, but it seems highly unlikely that Barcelona will take advantage of them this month. The Blues may have to wait until the summer transfer window to land their preferred targets.
