Other options include Atletico Madrid’s Jose Gimenez and Villarreal’s Pau Torres.

But the Blues could also bolster their attack, with City star Sterling seen as an option should one of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech or Christian Pulisic leave.

The England ace is entering the final year of his Etihad contract and would be exactly the type of big-name signing Boehly wants to make in his first transfer window.

A new midfielder is also likely, with West Ham’s Declan Rice and Monaco’s Aurelien Tchouameni appreciated.
