Chelsea are one step away from extending the contracts of two key defenders.
The Blues are in fact close to agreeing to terms to new contracts for Andreas Christensen and Thiago Silva, two players Tuchel considers important for his project and whose current deals expire next June.
Christensen is a transfer target for numerous clubs, including Milan who were following him in case they qualified out the group stage in Champions League, but there are just details to be worked out before the 25 year old Danish defender signs a new four year deal, with a potential option for a fifth season.
Thiago Silva has become an invaluable leader of th defense since arriving from PSG on a Bosman deal, he is close to signing a one year extension, his relationship with Tuchel was instrumental in this new agreement.
