Premier League teams Chelsea and Man City have acted on their interest in a £103million defender, according to reports.
Chelsea have a strong backline consisting of Thiago Silva, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger. They can also utilise Trevor Chalobah and Cesar Azpilicueta at centre-back.
Christensen and Azpilicueta are expected to pen new deals, which would be a big boost for Thomas Tuchel. However, discussions with Rudiger are going less smoothly. Recent reports have suggested that he could leave after being ‘disrespected’ by Chelsea’s contract offer.
Chelsea are looking for players who could replace Rudiger at Stamford Bridge, in the event of his departure.
