CHELSEA can secure Stuttgart defender Borna Sosa for £21million this summer, according to reports.
The Blues have already seen Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen depart since the end of the season.
Club captain Cesar Azpilicueta is also being linked with a move to Barcelona.
And left-back Marcos Alonso has reportedly told the club he wants to leave Stamford Bridge.
The loss of Alonso would leave Chelsea short in the left-back position, with Ben Chilwell still recovering from a serious cruciate ligament injury.
And Sosa, 24, could plug that gap as he has shown the ability to play at left-back and left wingback.

He has also been capped six times for the Croatian national team.
According to Heidenheimer Zeitung, Stuttgart have "assured" Sosa that he will be allowed to leave this summer.
