Chelsea is reportedly in competition with Bayern Munich to recruit a defensive player next summer as they look to secure their place in the Premier League’s top four this season. With four straight victories in the Premier League, the Blues are starting to show signs of stability under Enzo Maresca. Todd Boehly could make good use of their heavy investment this year.
However, that is not likely to halt the wave of newcomers in 2025, since the Blues’ transfer policy is unlikely to alter in response to success. Nevertheless, prior to 2025, many at Stamford Bridge had already been connected to players like Milos Kerkez. Ben Chilwell, who is now out of favour, might be replaced by the Bournemouth left-back as Marc Cucurella’s backup. It appears that there are other defensive additions that the Blues are considering in addition to him.

One of Germany’s leading insiders when it comes to transfers is Christian Falk, so we’re always interested in hearing his thoughts on the major stories that are being reported there. Jonathan Tah was one of the players that was most likely to go this summer but chose to stay put. The Bayer Leverkusen central defender became an important player for Xabi Alonso and was instrumental in their incredible success the previous season.
It’s certain that they will sign you on a free transfer if you do so well in Germany and assist the team unseat Bayern Munich in the championship. That still seems likely to occur when his contract expires in the summer of the next year. With just one year remaining, this summer presented an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to score a deal, and Falk stated that Chelsea was nearly that team.
