Real Madrid have reportedly added Josh Acheampong to their shortlist of transfer targets. The Chelsea defender is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Bayern Munich, Fiorentina and Crystal Palace decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. With only 26 goals conceded in 29 (0.9 per game), Real Madrid have been one of the stronger defences in the LaLiga this season.. Josh Acheampong would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Alongside this, Chelsea are said to be exploring Caleb Marfo Yirenkyi, Michael Olabode Kayode and Kevin Schade with Real Madrid likewise connected to Rayan Vitor Simplício Rocha, Luka Modric and Cristian Romero.
