Chelsea are shortlisting players that the club are going to sign in the upcoming January transfer window. The Blues have spent a huge amount of money in the summer transfer window. No club was even close to the line of what Chelsea have spent in the summer. However, Enzo Maresca’s side still wants to sign more players in january. One of the players Chelsea are targeting right now is Manchester City‘s star defender and Portuguese international Ruben Dias. While other big names are also on the shortlist for Chelsea, Ruben Dias remains the main priority for Enzo Maresca’s side.
Chelsea signed four new defenders in the summer including Tosin Adarabioyo, Renato Veiga, Caleb Wiley, and Aaron Anselmino. On the other hand, the Blues also lost their star defender Thiago Silva. The Brazilian left the club after his contract with the club expired at the end of the last season. So, Enzo Maresca rebuilds the backline by bringing in new faces into the squad.
Enzo Maresca’s side are doing pretty well in the season. Chelsea are currently in the fifth place of the Premier League after nine matches. The Blues scored 19 goals in this premier league, currently the second-highest goal-scoring side in the league after the current league leader Manchester City. However, they also conceded 11 goals in this process. In fact Chelsea have only been able to keep four clean sheets since the start of the season across all competitions. So, the Blues as well as Enzo Maresca want to sign someone who can make the difference in the defence line.
Chelsea are interested in signing Manchester City defender Ruben Dias
That’s why Chelsea are interested in signing Manchester City defender Ruben Dias. However, this is a rumor as no final statement has come from Chelsea about their interest in Ruben Dias. This kind of rumor was also there in the last summer transfer window. Chelsea were linked with some of the big names. But ultimately there was nothing. So, it is still very early to say whether Chelsea are really interested in signing Ruben Dias or not in January.
Now another question arises and that is even if Chelsea are interested in signing Ruben Dias, will Manchester City let Ruben Dias go? Ruben Dias is one of the most crucial members of the squad. The 27-year-old defender is having a good time at Manchester. So, there is very little chance that he will leave Manchester City and join Chelsea in the January transfer window. However, time will answer the question.
PSG and Chelsea are chasing Karim Adeyemi of Dortmund
Apart from Ruben Dias, another piece of news are coming out that Chelsea are eager to sign 22-year-old Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi in the next transfer window. The Blues were in talks with Dortmund in the summer transfer window for Karim Adeyemi. However, that deal never progressed in the next level.
PSG are also in the race to get Karim Adeyemi. The 22-year-old scored four goals in five matches in the Bundesliga for Dortmund in this season. Chelsea and PSG are currently chasing this German forward as their main priority in the January transfer window.
While rumors are going on about the incoming players to the Chelsea squad, some players are going to leave the club in the upcoming transfer window. One of them is Ben Chilwell who is linked with Premier League side West Ham United for a possible move in the January transfer window.
