Chelsea’s busy summer is yet to begin, however the end of the international break may help to hurry things up.
Following a disappointing season, Romelu Lukau’s probable return to Inter Milan appears to be one possibility being considered, while Jules Kounde remains a target.
Thomas Tuchel has previously worked with Ousmane Dembele, so he remains a vital objective, but the alterations may not end there.
Cesar Azpilicueta, the club captain, is said to have a two-year contract offer from Barcelona on the table as he awaits Tuchel’s decision on his future.
