Chelsea offered £280,000 a week defender as potential Christensen replacement

 

Chelsea is facing a significant dilemma at centre back.

Two of their first-choice options are nearing the end of their contracts after a year in which they had perhaps the greatest defensive record in the league.

It's a complicated issue, but there are solutions. We're confident that Antonio Rudiger or Andreas Christensen will sign a new contract, if not both. However, if they do not, there are other options.

Goal.com reports in its piece regarding Christensen's standoff that Matthijs de Ligt might be a target for the Blues if one of their starters is injured. He'd be a very expensive choice, given that he's already making a lot of money at Juventus (£280.000, according to Goal), and we'd have to pay a lot of money to get him, and we'd have to pay a lot of money to get him.
