SKY: Tuchel wants to land these two RB Leipzig players as Rüdiger & Christensen replacements search continues
Thomas Tuchel is considering his transfer objectives ahead of what might be a busy summer for the Chelsea manager.
The new owners will take over, and they will be expected to act quickly in the market as they try to catch up to their competitors. Tuchel will have his own views about what he wants and who he wants to sign, and as a result, many claims and rumors are circulating.
Tuchel’s interest in recruiting a new defender or two to replace Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger was reiterated at today’s press conference.
Tuchel wants to raid RB Leipzig for two players this summer, according to Sky Germany (as tweeted below).
Tuchel wants Josko Gvardiol and Christopher Nkunku, who wants to extend his RB Leipzig contract and include a release clause, in his Chelsea squad next season, according to the report.
As reported: #Gvardiol is a central defender #Tuchel would like to have in his squad next season to replace Rüdiger or Christensen. Tuchel wants Nkunku as well but Leipzig won’t sell him this summer. He’s keen to extend his contract, a release clause included. @SkySports https://t.co/BJW42RWH7W
