Transfer News: Chelsea still inspired by Atletico Madrid centre-back

The Blues are allegedly pondering an approach for Atletico Madrid defender Jose Gimenez during the summer transfer window.

Jose Gimenez was on the Chelsea’s radar prior in 2020, just for the Premier League outfit to conclude that Atletico Madrid’s asking price was excessively high.

In any case, as indicated by Fabrizio Romano’s Here We Go podcast, Chelsea will restore their advantage toward the end of the period.

The Uruguay international, who is recently valued around £100m, has just made five starts in all competitions so far this season.

When only over two years remaining on the defender’s contract, Atletico Madrid may need to reevaluate their position with respect to the 25-year-old.
