      But Fabrizio Romano claims he also hopes to wrap up a big-money transfer for fellow centre-back Gvardiol.
      The Croatia international, 20, has plenty of admirers around Europe.
      And Chelsea want to win the race for Gvardiol amid strong interest from rivals Man City and Tottenham.
      However, the plan is not for the youngster to join the Blues immediately.
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      Tuchel wants to secure a £77m deal now before loaning Gvardiol BACK to Leipzig for the season.
      A key player at the German club, he would pick up more valuable minutes before moving to Stamford Bridge next summer.
      Should Chelsea secure a deal, Gvardiol would become their third centre-back signing after Fofana and Kalidou Koulibaly.
      But it could raise questions over Thiago Silva’s future.

      The Brazilian turns 38 next month and is still playing at the top level.
      Yet Gvardiol’s arrival could hint that Silva is considering retirement at the end of the season.

      It could also be to safeguard against a potential exit for Trevoh Chalobah.
      The Cobham product requested a move away this summer after dropping down the pecking order.

      AC Milan, Inter Milan and Leipzig were all keen on loaning him from the Bridge.
      But a late change of heart of Tuchel means Chalobah will be staying put for the current campaign. More

      Football Italia claims Bakayoko is desperate to quit Milan before deadline day after entering the second season of a two-year loan.
      Bakayoko played just 14 times last term as Stefano Pioli’s men won the Serie A title.
      But Chelsea refused Milan’s attempts to cancel the agreement earlier this summer as it would have left them lumbered with Bakayoko’s £100,000-a-week wages.
      However, the anchorman is now desperate for a fresh start.

      And he is locked in talks with both Milan and Chelsea in order to have both agreements cancelled.
      Should Bakayoko’s demands be met, he would become a free agent on the transfer market.
      And that opens the door for a late switch to Newcastle.
      Eddie Howe is hoping to add a tenacious midfielder without being forced to dig deep into Toon’s mega-rich pockets.

      However, the Frenchman has other admirers in England’s top flight.

      Nottingham Forest have been splashing out left, right and centre in their bid to stay up.
      And Steve Cooper would reportedly like Bakayoko added to his squad for his experience.

      Should that move go through, it could see Bakayoko paired up with another ex-Serie A star in former Atalanta man Remo Freuler.

      Hudson-Odoi, 21, was an unused sub in the Blues’ last three Premier League games and has not played a competitive minute of football since March 2 against Luton in the FA Cup.
      The arrivals of Raheem Sterling, Carney Chukwuemeka and Marc Cucurella have further hindered his chances of game time either at wing-back or in attack.
      But now he can get regular action in Germany’s top flight under Gerardo Seoane.
      Hudson-Odoi, the new No17, said: “I’m definitely excited. I think it’s a new experience for me – I haven’t been anywhere else but Chelsea.

      “The project [is attractive]. I said to the family that I want to go out there and make sure that I’m playing football and get the opportunity to play in front of great fans. It’s massive for me to come here.
      “Kai Havertz told me it’s amazing, obviously, that everyone around that he’s been with the past years have been amazing for him.

      “He enjoyed every moment of it and he said you’ll love it over there – just go, do you and be confident and everything will go well.”
      Bayer finished third last season, securing them a spot in the Champions League group stages.

      That means Hudson-Odoi could face Atletico Madrid, Club Brugge and FC Porto in Group B.
      The loan deal, which Chelsea have the option of terminating and recalling their academy graduate in January, comes two years after the winger was heavily linked with a £70million transfer to Bayern Munich.
      Hudson-Odoi made his first-team Blues debut in January 2018.
      He now has 16 goals in 126 appearances as well as Champions League, Europa League, Super Cup and Club World Cup winner’s medals.
