Chelsea is currently preparing a £21 million offer for the “dominant” defender and is in regular contact with the deal, according to the report.
Bruce sets sights on new centre back
The Blues are looking to bolster defensive options this summer, with AFC Bournemouth’s Dean Huysen emerging as one of the key targets, but winning the Spaniards’ race has been difficult, with many Premier League clubs taking part in the race.
So the aforementioned report states that West Londoners could aim to bring Mark Guech back to Stamford Bridge, and that, given the contract lapsed in 2026, British people are potentially lined up to join with a cut fee.
There is no shortage of options from within the Premier League. Murillo from Nottingham Forest has also been identified as a target, but Brazilians aren’t cheap and are advertised with a asking price of £80 million.

If Chelsea can land this defensive Titan instead, they can shift their focus from signing Yorrel pigeons.
Enzo Maresca’s side is not only considering moves for some of the top Premier League defenders, but also making a move to sign a young centre-back in Laliga.
It’s a report from Spain that Chelsea is currently preparing for the opening of Valencia defender Christian Mosquera for 25 million euros (£21 million) that was one of the La Liga revelations this season.
Mosquera is a key player in Valencia, and his impressive performances have brought the Blues to contact us regularly, with several other unnamed European clubs also expressing interest.
Given that his contract is set to expire in 2026, the 20-year-old could be allowed to leave this summer, and he feels that a bid of around £21 million is enough.
The “dominant” Mosquera in La Liga
The Spanish youth have been able to establish himself as key players for Valencia this season. He has been featured 33 times in LaLiga, and his performance caught the eye of football scout Ben Matinson, whom he believes is underrated.
Mattinson points out that Valencia Ace is comfortable to own. This is exemplified by the fact that it ranks in the 87th percentile in pass completion rates per 90 over the past year when compared to other centrebacks.
Of course, in the Maresca system, it is important for every player to get quality on the ball, so Mosquera can be a perfect fit.
