Chelsea has made an unbeaten start of the Premier League season with two wins and a draw, but with the Champions League that will start next week, it will be interesting to see how long they can keep a good shape.
Although Enzo Maresca has sufficient quality in his attacking department, the same cannot be said about his defensive department, which has various inexperienced faces and was also hindered by the ACL fracture of Levi Colwill in the preseason.
And although the manager insisted on the signing of a center back before the summer transfer window closed, it was not, but that could change in the winter with the blues evaluation a surprise transfer.
Empire of the Kop has reported exclusively That Chelsea is willing to fight with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid for the purchase of Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate in January, six months before he becomes a free agent.
Konate a fantastic signing but probably abroad
Ibrahima Konate’s Valuation on the transfer market is £ 52 millionAlthough he could be available within a few months for his contract with Liverpool at the end of the season.
Thanks to his experience in England, including winning the Premier League last season, Konate would fit perfectly in Chelsea with his air power, physical ability and excellent reading of the vital characteristics of the game.
However, it is likely that he prefers a challenge abroad with Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid while Liverpool build a sports project that would really convince no one of the existing setup to leave.
Moreover, Konate has also spent enough years with Liverpool to pursue a career elsewhere in Europe, so although Chelsea has the finances to afford it very easily, they may not be the player’s choice.
In addition to Konate, it will be interesting to see if they are monitoring possible defense signs in January and their versions in the coming months can go a long way in determining their transfer activity in the winter.
