EPL Transfer updates: Thomas Tuchel is looking for new strikers and defenders

As the Blues await a future of uncertainty, several players have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. There are new updates about Christopher Nkunku, Jorginho, Robert Lewandowski, and more as talks about the summer transfer window pique everyone's curiosity. 

Barcelona's decision might impact Chelsea 

Barcelona might repeat the mistake committed on Lionel Messi's contract due to their declining financial condition. However, players like Pierre Emetic-Aubameyang, alongside other vital transfers, proved to be an antidote to Barcelona's visible collapse due to a transfer period which saw them splurge on players. Philippe Coutinho and Antoine Griezmann had higher transfer fees, which prevented Messi's contract from being renewed last summer. According to new reports, the Spanish club will not be able to sign Franck Kessie and Blues defender Andreas Christensen.

N'Golo Kante might move to Man United while Chelsea transfer target Kalidou gave vile money advice

This season, Thomas Tuchel's top-notch midfielder might make a shocking exit from west London. One of Chelsea's main transfer targets Kalidou Koulibaly received 'vile money' from Napoli chief Aurelien De Laurentiis, who wants the centre-half to stay back in Italy ahead of the summer transfer window opening. Chelsea will be plagued by the departure of four defenders in different positions, so they will seek world-class players to fill the gaps. As the takeover has completed, Jules Kounde, Josko Gvardiol, and Koulibaly are expected to join the team. Napoli's number 26 has one year remaining on his contract, but Barcelona and Chelsea are reportedly both interested in the 30-year-old. However, Xavi's side is also targetting three Chelsea defenders this summer - Andreas Christensen, Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso. 

Despite links to Chelsea, Robert Lewandowski and Bayern Munich lay claims on his future

Chelsea target and Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski have revealed that he does not plan to stay in Bavaria. This summer, both Chelsea and Barcelona are awaiting a significant change in their forward lines in their march towards the top in their respective leagues. Now, the Polish international is being pursued by both clubs. The Blues under Thomas Tuchel struggle to score goals in 2021/22. After Todd Boehly's takeover, the club wants to rebuild the team for the upcoming season. So the Blues want to sack Lewandowski besides Christopher Nkunku and Lautaro Martinez. Bayern Munich's second-ever highest goalscorer is a coveted player for both the clubs, but Barcelona seems to be his preferred destination.
