At just 31 years old, seemingly unfit at the Parc des Princes and with the Blues in need of reinforcements in midfield, a move for the Reds legend would be a good deal for all parties. marquinhos Chelsea’s desire to sign a central defender is arguably the worst secret of the transfer window, having lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers this summer. Jules Kounde and Matthijs de Ligt have been the two most closely linked replacements, although at around 70 70m each, a deal can be difficult to reach. This can lead to one of the duo not signing, thus opening the door for another central defender to be shortlisted and sought after. And with Marquinhos’s contract expiring in two years, Chelsea can wait their time before bringing the Brazilian into a reduced-price deal next summer.
