Boehly is working diligently to open the summer transfer window. Although they are in desperate need of defensive reinforcements, they have also been linked to Ousmane Dembele of Barcelona. Boehly reportedly contacted City on Monday to inquire about the two players' worth to the Premier League champions.

Ake's left-footedness and versatility as a left-back or defensive midfielder attracts Tuchel. The Dutch defender is open to the notion of joining the London club this summer.

Other options for Chelsea

Chelsea has also been connected with Matthijs de Ligt of Juventus and Jules Kounde of Sevilla, with whom they had agreed to personal terms last summer.

Raphinha, a winger for Leeds United, and Richarlison, a forward for Everton, are Sterling's alternatives. Following the departures of Marina Granovskaia and Bruce Buck, Boehly is now serving as the organization's temporary sporting director and chairman.
