Former Atletico Madrid defender Mario Hermoso has been linked with a move to the Premier League this summer.
According to an update on Radio Punto Nuovo, as relayed by Calcio Napoli 24, Chelsea could look to make a move for Mario Hermoso. The 29-year-old is a free agent after leaving Atletco Madrid, and he wants to move to the Premier League.
Hermoso has been linked with Barcelona as well. The player is currently a free agent after his contract expired with Atletico Madrid, and he is open to a move to England. Joining a Premier League club will be an exciting opportunity for the player, and he will look to test himself in the Premier League.
The 29-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea can get the deal done. Chelsea will need to add more quality and depth to their defensive unit this summer. The Blues have already lost Thiago Silva upon the expiry of his contract, and they will need to replace the Brazilian adequately. Chelsea looked vulnerable at the back last season, and someone like Hermoso will certainly help them improve in that department.
Hermoso would improve Chelsea at the back
The 29-year-old has shown that he is good enough to play for the elite clubs, and he is certainly good enough for Chelsea as well. The Blues have had two mediocre seasons, and they will look to bounce back strongly. They will look to push for Champions League qualification and domestic trophies in the upcoming campaign. Signing proven performers would be a wise decision.
The 29-year-old La Liga-winning defender has the physical and technical attributes to thrive in England, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. Signing a player of his quality and experience on a free transfer could prove to be a major bargain.
Chelsea will have to comply with the financial restrictions. So, they must not miss out on quality bargains like Hermoso. The Spaniard will help them tighten up defensively and push for a place in the top four. He will look to win major trophies with the Blues as well. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea can secure an agreement with the player in the coming days.
