Experience Without Costing The Earth
In an ideal world, Jan Oblak would be the club’s main target for the number one spot but, with Chelsea devoting a lot of their resources to signing Kai Havertz, it’s unrealistic to expect the Blues to shell out the €120m they would need to spend on the Atletico keeper.
Schmeichel has spent the last six years as first choice for Leicester in the top flight, and in that time he has won the Premier League title. The Foxes may still demand a sizeable sum for the Danish international but nowhere near the amount it would cost to get Oblak.
