Chelsea are reportedly eyeing a move for Atalanta’s defensive rock, Isak Hien, in 2025. According to Fichajes, Chelsea sees the Swedish centre-back as a potential upgrade to reinforce their backline despite their current depth.

Hien, 25, has emerged as one of Serie A’s standout defenders after transferring to Atalanta from Hellas Verona early in 2024. His commanding presence in defence, sharp reading of the game, and proficiency in aerial duels have attracted significant interest across Europe.

Hien’s nine appearances this season have solidified his reputation as a reliable, adaptable defender, earning praise for his composure on the ball and ability to drive play from the back.

With a contract that runs through 2028, Atalanta may consider cashing in, as Hien’s market value has soared from €8 million to around €25 million. For Chelsea, this represents a solid investment, offering both immediate quality and long-term potential at the heart of defence.
