Enzo Maresca says he thinks Chelsea need a new centre-back to replace the injured Levi Colwill.

"We are trying to find a solution internally, but the club knows exactly what I think and we will see what happens," he said on Friday. "I think we need a central defender."

Yet Chelsea are not inclined to reenter the market this summer to bolster the defensive ranks, with their logic informed by three main factors:

🔵 Confidence in the depth that has been amassed in this squad
🔵 A lack of suitable options available in this window
🔵 Full faith in Maresca and his coaching staff to work with and improve the talent at his disposal

@liam_twomey@sportsbots.xyz on why #CFC are minded to show restraint in the transfer market.

🚨🆕 FC Bayern have made concrete enquiries for #Xavi Simons in recent days - but a deal is very unlikely to happen for several reasons.

Most importantly, Xavi currently remains fully focused on a move to Chelsea. A verbal agreement with #CFC is already in place – 100% done. Club to club agreement still missing.

A potential departure of Christopher Nkunku (talks ongoing with FC Bayern) could be crucial for Chelsea’s next steps regarding Xavi.

🚨🟡 EXCL: Villarreal have sent formal bid to Chelsea for Renato Veiga — it falls short of #CFC expectations.

Formal contract proposal to Veiga also sent as dream target for centre back position.

The Portuguese defender is keen on the move but difficult to agree club to club.

🚨⚠️ Understand Chelsea have immediately rejected Borussia Dortmund bid for Carney Chukwuemeka.

#CFC not happy at all with loan with obligation bid described as ‘insulting’ as more clubs also approached them for a permanent transfer.

🚨🔵 Christopher Nkunku’s exit will be crucial as reported since July in order for Chelsea to accelerate for Xavi Simons.

The plan has always been Nkunku and Jackson out, Xavi and Garnacho in. 🔗

Xavi, waiting for #CFC while talks for Nkunku to Bayern are ongoing.

🚨🔵 EXCL: Chelsea have now completed the agreement with Marc Cucurella over new deal.

Seen as key player on the pitch, leader off the pitch and really important for present/future.

New contract is signed and sealed for Cucurella at #CFC.
