Chelsea looking at cut-price deal or free agent possibility for experienced centre back | OneFootball

Chelsea are reportedly looking to make a cut-price deal or potentially even a free agent move to sign an experienced new centre back in 2025.

The Blues were consistently linked with wanting to sign a new centre back in the summer transfer window just passed, but in the end they just settled with what they had after adding free agent Tosin Adarabioyo early in the window.

But there is a high chance that they might want to look to add another centre back to the ranks in one of the next two transfer windows, and they might have just the opportunity to do so.

Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah has been linked with a move away from the club in the coming months.

The 28-year-old will be a free agent in 2025 and he does not wish to sign a new contract with the German club. He will move on as a free agent next summer but there might even be a chance for a club to sign him for a cut-price fee in the January window coming up.

Chelsea keen on Tah

According to the Spanish publication SPORT, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are keen on securing his signature.

There isn’t much other info than just interest from the three clubs mentioned above. But Chelsea will certainly be looking at potential new centre back options.

There’s also possibilities that Chelsea might even listen to offers for a couple of their own centre backs in January and beyond.
