Insider reveals interest in the German league star

It is not a secret that Chelsea has defensive in the opening weeks of the season, with the absence of a huge Levi Colwell for them. For this reason, a new signature is made in the middle, where Enzo Maresca has special concerns.

Currently, Chelsea, such as Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana, Tosin Adarabioyo, Beniot Badiashile and Josh Acheampong as options in the center of defense, although most of them are not reliable. Consequently, the goals are set for 2026, and one of the ones that are followed is Niko Schlotbick, who previously I attracted attention from Liverpool.

Make Brown said Football from the inside Chelsea has registered their interest in Borussia Dortmund defender, Schlupers, which could be available for a cut price next summer due to the end of his contract in 2027.

“Schlutbick is someone I saw a lot. Initially I had some concerns about his lack of pace, but he became better and better and turned himself into a very capable defender. He is a dominant center, which is regular for Germany, and a very defensive option that loves to win the heads and withstand the back line.

“I think exactly the type of player Chelsea needs, because I heard they were taking a look at him. They need to improve defense because their current options are not good enough, it’s harsh but I think this has already been proven this season.

“Certainly it will be an improvement in what they have obtained at the present time, and it may not be easy to get it because Dortmund will not want to lose it, but it seems that someone has determined who can improve their defense.

It remains to see whether Schlotterbeck is a player by Chelsea with a serious attempt to sign, but given that he is a left -wing central defender like Colwill, it may not be good compared to others.
