Chelsea’s four alternative transfer options if Barcelona sign Jules Kounde

Dayot Upamecano

With speed, power and confidence on the ball, Upamecano is tailor-made for the Premier League. He would have no problem fitting into Tuchel’s defense alongside Thiago Silva and Koulibaly and at 23 he has his whole career ahead of him.

Chelsea have been linked with Upamecano in the past before he moved to Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig. But the signing of Matthijs de Ligt has called into question his position. Such a deal would prove expensive and Bayern would seek a fee similar to that paid for De Ligt, who he signed for around £68m from Juventus.

It remains to be seen whether Todd Boehly would be willing to spend that amount after spending £80m on Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling.
