According to the Daily Express, Chelsea plans to sign three new players before the start of the Club World Cup on June 15. The Blues were grouped in Group D along with Tunisia, Flamenco and Lyon.

Inspired by the Europa League last month, the London giants arrived at the Club World Cup. Chelsea have brought in Liam Drapp, but they still want to bring in more players.

The Premier League giants obviously set their sights on Dortmund's Jamie Gittens and hope to complete the deal as soon as possible. Fabrizio Romano reported that the Blues had submitted a £29.5 million offer, but were rejected.

However, the London giants are likely to come back with higher offers. According to RMC Sport, the player has agreed to a seven-year personal contract, but the two clubs are still in contact to finalize a deal.

At the same time, according to TEAMtalk, Chelsea also wants to introduce a new goalkeeper this summer, their target is Mike Megnan. The French are eager to leave AC Milan and have reached a personal agreement with the Blues. According to Biography, Stamford Bridge executives also included Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitic on their transfer list, and they also hope to get him before the World Championships. However, the Bundesliga club wants £84.3 million to get him away, while the London Giants won't exceed £67.4 million.

Is Chelsea interested in Diormander?

According to caaughtoffside, Chelsea may compete with Arsenal for Diormand this summer. The Daily Telegraph added that Crystal Palace is also competing for the Ivory Coast defender.

In recent years, Diormand has performed as a rock-solid on Atletico Madrid's back line and has won many admirers in the Premier League. The 21-year-old's contract expires in 2027 and the Portuguese club is open to his departure this summer.

However, the Sports CP obviously wants £67 million to get him away, which may cause problems for Crystal Palace. However, the Eagles can raise funds by selling Mark Gaihe this summer.

However, Chelsea is not short of funds and may pose a threat to Crystal Palace's plans. The Blues have invested a lot of money in young players lately, and Diormand fits in their strategy. The Ivorians may also be an upgraded version of Charoba and Badiahill of Stamford Bridge.
