Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Sule on Chelsea's transfer wish list

Chelsea have added Bayern Munich defender&nbsp;Niklas Sule to their summer transfer wish list, <a href="https://sportbild.bild.de/" target="_blank">Sport Bild</a> reports. The Blues already had their eye on&nbsp;two players from the Bundesliga as they search for a new centre-back, with both David Alaba and Dayot Upamecano reportedly targets. And Sule's name has now reportedly been added to the list, with the Germany international potentially looking at leaving should Bayern win the race to sign RB Leipzig star Upamecano.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United did not sign a big-money centre-back in January because they are waiting for Dayot Upamecano in the summer. The Reds brought in Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak on cut-price moves while Chelsea and United did not sign a defender despite being linked with several targets. Upamecano - who according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/upamecano-transfer-liverpool-chelsea-manchester-23430476" target="_blank">Mirror </a>has a £38 million release clause which activates in the summer - is said to be the reason for the inertia, as all three clubs have their eyes on the highly rated RB Leipzig defender and are keen to bring him in ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

The financial boost from such a deal, plus Mbappe's commercial ties, could reportedly smooth the pathway for the World Cup winner to move to England in the summer.
