In the latest transfer news Jose Gimenez has been linked with a move to Chelsea.
Starting in west London, Jose Gimenez has been linked with a move to Chelsea as the Uruguay and Atletico Madrid defender was linked with Manchester City earlier this week.
Gimenez, 25, has struggled with injuries this season and has a buyout clause of $140 million after signing a new contract in 2018.
According to the Telegraph, Chelsea have been scouting the Uruguayan center back but will have to sell one of their current center backs to finance a move for Gimenez.
With Chelsea’s defensive issues clear for all to see, the likes of Kurt Zouma, Antonio Rudiger, Fikayo Tomori, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta have been used at center back this season without much success.
Lampard could offload Christensen and Zouma this summer as he looks to rebuild his defensive unit as he’s already brought in Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech in attack with Kai Havertz potentially on the way too. Up front they are set but at the back they’re definitely not.
Chelsea need a dominant center back, a steady goalkeeper and a new left back if they really want to challenge for the Premier League title next season and if they could somehow finance a deal for Gimenez, he fits the bill perfectly at center back.
