Casemiro who is regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world caught the attention of the English club having played 307 games for Real Madrid, scoring 30 goals and registering 27 assists in the process.
However, Madrid is considering letting go of the Brazilian after this summer in the wake of poor displays in the first half of the current season.
The La Liga club is said to have already identified Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, as a replacement for Casemiro, who has a contract at Santiago Bernabeu until June 2025.
Chelsea has reportedly succeeded in agreeing to terms with defenders Thiago Silva and Andreas Christensen.
There have been assertions that the two defenders may likely not renew their contract with the Blues for a reason or the other.
However, Thomas Tuchel’s side is on the verge of closing in on deals with the two key players
It could be recalled that Brazil international, Silva arrived at Stamford Bridge on a free transfer in August 2020 from Paris Saint-Germain.
The 37-year-old defender played a key role to earn Chelsea the 2021 UEFA Champions League trophy after knocking out Pep Guardiola’s side, Manchester City.
Despite this achievement among others, there was uncertainty surrounding Silva’s future with the club until the recent report.
