Chelsea are believed to be interested in a move for Schalke fullback Sead Kolasinac.
The Blues, along with Liverpool and West Ham, are said to be keeping tabs on his situation ahead of a 2017 transfer, according to BILD.
It appears that Cesar Azpilicueta has reverted back to right-back in recent weeks, leaving options on the left side of defence rather short.
Chelsea did spend a lot of money bringing in Marcos Alonso in the summer from Fiorentina, but a little competition won’t hurt.
The 23-year-old’s contract will expire at the end of the current season and BILD believe he could be on his way out of the VELTINS-Arena with Baba Rahman joining the German outfit on loan.
Kolasinac failed to rule out a move away from Schalke, as he concentrates on Schalke’s revival in the Bundesliga, as quoted by BILD:
Both sides must agree [on terms]. I have no pressure [to make a decision].
However, speaking to the German news outlet BILD, Sporting Director Christian Heidel is keen on keeping the Kolasinac in Gelsenkirchen:
Sead is a true Schalke boy whom we’d like to keep.
The idea of recruiting another fullback so we’re not short-handed is not the worst move.
