Chelsea have suffered greatly in the English Premier League this season and find themselves in the 16th position and this has been greatly linked to the team’s terrible defence in all their performances this season.
Chelsea manager may have realized this and that this is largely based on the fact that the captain John Terry is old and has done his best for the club and might not have much to give for the team again. Chelsea have therefore identified Roma’s Kostas Manolas as a long-term replacement for John Terry at the heart of their defence and will be making a bid for the player very soon in a bid to lure the player to Stamford bridge.
The Blues were initially planning to make another bid for Everton’s John Stones and PSG’s Marquinhos by the January transfer window but may have found out the hard way that these players may never make the switch to Stamford Bridge and the financial requirements are even too large for the Blues to cough out in January despite the club saying they will back Mourinho’s choices. The Blues may therefore have seen the 24-year-old Greek international as a cheaper alternative for the centre-back dilemma.
Upon the player’s arrival from the Greek champions Olympiacos after the 2014 World Cup, Manolas quickly became a regular player for AS Roma and made 30 appearances for the side in his first season.
The 6ft1 defender who has completed 91% of his passes this season has also started all of their Champions League games this season too.
He could be a good addition for Chelsea if they can get his signature but if not, maybe the Blues will have to look elsewhere.
