Chelsea has reportedly identified Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry and AC Milan forward Rafael Leao as potential replacements for Leeds midfielder Raphinha.
The Blues appear to be out of the running for the Brazilian, who is closing in on a dream move to Barcelona.
With the imminent arrival of Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling, manager Thomas Tuchel is already looking at different options to bolster his attack.
Chelsea’s shortlist includes German star Gnabry and Portuguese Wideman Leao, according to the rumors.
Gnabry’s future is uncertain as he enters the final year of his contract, rumors have it that Manchester United and City are also interested in him.
Interestingly previous employer Arsenal is also said to be monitoring his situation at the Allianz Arena.
Gnabry is said to be available for around £35 million, with reports that Milan would demand nearly triple that for Leao.
Last season, the 23-year-old contributed 11 goals and ten assists in 34 Serie A matches to help the Rosonneri win their first Scudetto since 2011.
With two years remaining on his contract at the San Siro, Stefano Pioli’s side is said to be demanding at least £100 million to part ways with him.
While Chelsea may be priced out of a move for the ex-Lille man, it is reported that Gnabry will turn down a move to Stamford Bridge.
