Presnel Kimpembe is reportedly in "direct talks" with Chelsea, although there is a £10 million issue.
Chelsea transfer news: With Nathan Ake expected to remain at Manchester City, Presnel Kimpembe is now a top priority for Thomas Tuchel after Kalidou Koulibaly's arrival.
The summer 2022 transfer window is now open, and it seems that Chelsea is starting to pick up the pace as manager Thomas Tuchel works to create a team that is truly representative of him. The backline needed to be seriously upgraded with quality after Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen left on free transfers, and the club has already begun their rebuild by signing Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli to a four-year contract.
With his declaration that he wants to be the "security of the squad," the 31-year-old has already provided Chelsea fans with a glimpse of the type of player he is. But it's important to note that the Blues have not finished acquiring center backs.
Presnel Kimpembe of PSG appears to be high on the club's list of priorities given that Nathan Ake is currently anticipated to remain at Manchester City. The 26-year-old is the subject of "direct talks" between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, according to esteemed writer Fabrizio Romano. The west Londoners are currently prepared to submit an offer of £38–47 million in response to the initial request, which is in the range of £50-55 million.
Tuchel is interested in bringing in a player who fits this specific profile because having a left-footed player operate on the left is crucial for the quality and placement of passes provided. When under intense duress, Kimpembe has excellent ball handling skills and can split defenses with inch-perfect long passes as well as break down defensive lines.
Chelsea will be encouraged by the fact that, should they sign the Frenchman, they will be bringing in a player who not only has a wealth of experience at the highest level, but who is also rapidly reaching his prime. Koulibaly, Thiago Silva, and Kimpembe could make up a back three that would offer excellent stability in front of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
