Chelsea are eyeing Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel as a potential addition to their squad for the upcoming season. The 26-year-old Swiss international has impressed with his consistent performances for Dortmund since joining from VfB Stuttgart in 2021.

Despite having several years left on his contract with Dortmund, there is speculation about a possible departure this summer, with Chelsea among the clubs interested in securing his services.

The Blues are in the market for a new goalkeeper following the departure of Edouard Mendy and the loaning out of Kepa Arrizabalaga last summer. Their acquisition of Robert Sanchez from Brighton has not yielded the desired results, prompting them to consider alternatives.

Kobel, 26, has emerged as a prime target due to his potential to strengthen Chelsea’s goalkeeping department for the long term.

Reports suggest that Chelsea are willing to spend between €50 to €60 million to secure Kobel’s signature, showcasing their determination to bolster their squad with top talent. While other clubs are also interested in the goalkeeper, Chelsea’s financial resources could give them an edge in negotiations. It remains to be seen how Dortmund will approach the situation and whether Kobel will indeed make a move to Stamford Bridge.
