The Blues, led by German manager Thomas Tuchel, are seemingly keen to add a top-quality full-back to their ranks.
However, should they prove to be successful in their pursuit of Inter Milan’s Hakimi, according to Romano, they’ll have to be prepared to part with a huge sum.
It has been noted that Paris-Saint Germain is working hard trying to complete the signing of the talented Moroccan defender, however, with Inter Milan demanding a whopping £69m, the French giants will need to up their original bid.
Paris Saint-Germain are still working to sign Achraf Hakimi from Inter. Price tag €80m, so PSG have to raise the bid. FC Bayern have not opened talks. ??
Chelsea are interested in Hakimi but PSG are leading the race – also Adama Traoré in #CFC list, as @matt_law_dt reported. ?

Interestingly, Romano also claims that despite rivalling Paris-Saint Germain for Hakimi, they’re also interested in Wolves attacker Adama Traore.
Traore has featured in 131 matches, in all competitions for Wolves and has directly contributed to 28 goals.
Atleast no for Adama!
