Chelsea have signed Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly, but the Blues aren't done shopping in the summer.
Chelsea must find a replacement for Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger, who have both left the club. According to reports, Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta may also leave this summer.
Thomas Tuchel has identified Sevilla defender Jules Kounde as a potential signing.
Chelsea are thought to be leading the race for Kounde, and have previously agreed personal terms with the 23-year-old. However, Barcelona is also interested in signing him.
Kounde has a £65 million release clause, and Sevilla reportedly wants offers over £51 million, hoping for a bidding war between Chelsea and Barcelona.
According to CBS Sports, Jules Kounde is looking forward to working with Kalidou Koulibaly at Chelsea.
Over the last decade, Koulibaly has established himself as one of Italy's best defenders, and CBS reports that Kounde is eager to learn from him.
Koulibaly is regarded as a seasoned center back, and Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is pleased with his acquisition.Chelsea manager Tuchel said of Koulibaly after his signing was confirmed: "I'm very happy with him signing and joining our team."
He is the club's second signing of the summer, and he brings with him a strong player, a strong personality, and a wealth of experience. He is, in our opinion, an excellent addition to the group.
Frustrated Timo Werner has hinted that he may reconsider his future with Chelsea.
Raheem Sterling's £55 million move from Manchester City has harmed the German's desire to be first-choice striker even more.
"It's clear I want to play more," Werner said.
He may face the same fate as Romelu Lukaku, who has returned to Inter Milan on loan after an in-and-out season under Thomas Tuchel last season.
PSG could try to catch Sevilla center-back Jules Kounde before the Blues.
Matthijs de Ligt, a former Juventus player, has chosen Bayern Munich over clubs such as Chelsea.
So Tuchel has been dealt two potential backline blows, despite the fact that he has recruited Kalidou Koulibaly.
Chelsea is said to have made offers to two Premier League rivals for midfielder Ross Barkley.
That's because new Stamford Bridge owner Todd Boehly wants Tuchel's squad to be pared down to the essentials.
Ex-England star Barkley, 28, earns more than £100,000 per week for a minor role.
Finally, Billy Gilmour, West Ham target Armando Broja, Harvey Vale, and Tino Anjorin have all returned to the UK after Chelsea's USA tour, raising doubts about their futures.
