Chelsea have maintained a long-standing interest in Gregor Kobel. The 27-year-old may leave Dortmund if they do not qualify for the Champions League this season, as he has reportedly become frustrated with his team's lack of success in recent years. It is said that Chelsea are willing to pay between €70-80m for the Swiss goalkeeper should he become available for transfer. The Blues reportedly believe that Kobel has the potential to become the best goalkeeper in the world, which explains their alleged willingness to spend a significant amount on him, potentially surpassing their world record €80m expenditure for Kepa in 2018.

Chelsea's interest in the Swiss national goalkeeper Gregor Kobel has resurfaced. Despite having nine goalkeepers under contract, Chelsea is reportedly not completely satisfied with their current team and continues to monitor the market. Kobel's contract with Borussia Dortmund runs until 2028. The Premier League club is said to be revisiting its interest in Kobel, with the Swiss international expected to continue as Borussia Dortmund's first-choice goalkeeper in their upcoming match against TSG Hoffenheim. Chelsea's current first-choice goalkeeper is the Spaniard Robert Sánchez, but the club is believed to remain keen on strengthening its goalkeeper options.
