The Uruguayan defender has been a sensation ever since he became the first-choice centre-back for Atletico Madrid. Forming an extremely strong bond with his fellow national and club teammate Diego Godin, Gimenez has put his name amongst some of the best defenders in the world.

The £45million rated defender is an extremely powerful and aggressive footballer, who can be a perfect replacement for Luiz. His aggression as a football player, pace and an extremely impressive work rate can really help the Blues.

Although it would be an extremely difficult choice for Atletico to let go of their most important centre-back for the future, Chelsea are known for breaking transfer records every single season, as they did in the case of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Gimenez could be offered a record-breaking deal and he could easily be heading to the Stamford Bridge. Gimenez, albeit has been linked with multiple clubs like Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
