Chelsea alerted by the possible availability of Rubén Dias next year
Chelsea They have recently invested in signing younger players from South America, although they have also occasionally spent a lot of money on transfers within Europe. However, it looks like they are now prepared to deviate from their current strategy with an exceptionally good centre-back likely to be available next year.
TEAMtalk has reported that the Blues are on 'red alert' due to the possible availability of city of manchester Centre-back Ruben Dias, with the Sky Blues set to sell him next year to relieve some pressure caused by his alleged breach of contract. first divisionProfitability and Sustainability Standards and recent research in this regard.
Rubén Días has been rated by Transfermarkt at £65m, although Manchester City could ask for much more for the player considering he is only 27 years old and they spent a similar price on his signing from Benfica. Furthermore, the PL champions are likely to see Chelsea as a direct rival and could therefore be forced to pay a premium.
The perfect Dias profile for Chelsea
Ruben Dias would thrive under Enzo Maresca if he joined Chelsea. The Portuguese international would stand right behind the team and help them get the ball from behind.
The rest of the team's defenders lack experience in this and therefore signing a relatively important figure could be the right move from a tactical point of view.
Since his days at Benfica, Dias' winning mentality and tenacity have been praised by those at his former team, including describing him as a 'murderer'. After the departure of Thiago Silva, Chelsea have been missing that figure in the dressing room and, therefore, the 27-year-old would be an excellent addition to Maresca's team.
The TEAMtalk report adds that Bundesliga and La Liga clubs are also interested in Dias, so it will be interesting to see if he is ready to experience pastures abroad or prefers to stay in England.
