Blues are looking to go shopping for another defender despite the arrival of Wesley Fofana and Kalidou Koulibaly last summer.
Chelsea will make an attempt to land another defender when the winter transfer market opens as they are still facing problems on their defense line.
With Fofana still out on injury, Graham Potter’s side are hopeful they can recruit another defender this winter to add to their ranks.
A name which has surfaced over time according to Sport Witness is Atletico Madrid’s Jose Gimenez.
The Blues have earlier on made an attempt to sign the defender under Thomas Tuchel but couldn’t materialize a deal as ATM weren’t looking to sell then.
The opportunity has now come calling as Blues will look to sign him relying on the financial blow suffered by Atletico Madrid who crashed out of UEFA Champions League group stages.
Atletico Madrid are keen on raising funds to fill their financial leak and sales has been one of the most effective method they adopted.
Joao Felix is already in the transfer market and the side wish to as well let Gimenez leave for a reasonable amount.
