Chelsea Interested In Harry Maguire

DBasia.news – Chelsea are reportedly interested in bringing in Manchester United captain Harry Maguire. The news came after Chelsea’s attempts to bring Wesley Fofana never came to light.

Chelsea do need additional players in the central defender position. At the end of last season, the Blues lost two central defenders at once. Andreas Christensen moved to Barcelona. Meanwhile, Toni Rudiger moved to Real Madrid.

Then, there is Trevoh Chalobah who is said to want to move to get playing minutes. The 23-year-old defender hopes to move on loan to another Premier League club. Chelsea is in a big dilemma in this case.

So far, Chelsea have only got one new centre-back, Kalidou Koulibaly. So, in terms of quantity, the Blues need additional players in the central defender position.

There are many names on the list of Chelsea centre-backs. However, The Mirror made a pretty surprising report. They say Chelsea are now considering options to get Harry Maguire’s services.

Maguire’s performance has received a lot of criticism in the last two seasons. Maguire is reportedly not even included in Erik ten Hag’s plans for the match against Liverpool this weekend.

Chelsea try to take advantage of the situation in the Maguire case. Currently, United have an interest in Christian Pulisic. Chelsea are ready to let United go and they want Maguire’s name to be included in the transfer negotiations.

At this time, there have been no reports that the Blues have made an official offer for Maguire. However, with the transfer market moving so fast, anything can happen. Including Maguire’s transfer to Chelsea.

Actually, Chelsea have set the name Wesley Fofana as the ideal transfer for the central defender position. However, negotiating with Leicester City is not an easy matter. Leicester are not ready to let Fofana go.

Chelsea have offered funds of up to 60 million euros to be able to buy Fofana. That value could make the 22-year-old player one of the most expensive young defenders in the Premier League.

Fofana wants to move. He was interested in the project offered by the Blues. However, Leicester is still unmoved. Well, this condition then makes Chelsea reportedly eyeing Maguire as an alternative.
