Chelsea has set its sights on two defensive pillars from FC Barcelona: Jules Koundé and Ronald Araújo. According to various media outlets in England, the English club is willing to spend 150 million euros to strengthen its defense with the services of both players, in a move that could shake up the upcoming transfer market.

The Blues, who have shown a solid performance this season under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, still have weaknesses in their defensive line. Although players like Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana have performed well in their roles, the lack of a consolidated leader in the defense remains a problem for the team. This void, accentuated after Thiago Silva's departure in the summer, has led Chelsea to seek high-level alternatives in the market, with Araújo and Koundé topping their list of priorities.

Araujo and Koundé, Chelsea's desires

Ronald Araújo, known for his physical strength and ability to lead from the center of defense, has become a key piece for Barcelona and is still recovering from an injury. Meanwhile, Jules Koundé, versatile both as a center-back and right-back, has proven his worth in high-demand scenarios, making him an attractive target for Chelsea, which already tried to sign him in 2022.

Barça, however, won't be an easy team to convince. Both players are fundamental to Hansi Flick's project, although the Uruguayan has yet to play a minute for the team under the German's tenure, and losing either of them would be a significant blow to the Blaugrana. Nevertheless, Chelsea's 150 million offer could test the finances of the Catalan club, which is still dealing with its delicate economic situation.
