Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is calm after no major additions were made over the January market.
The club are thinking of the bigger picture by pursuing their main targets in the summer rather than looking for stop-gap alternatives in the January transfer window, says the Athletic.
They cite that Sevilla's Jules Kounde, West Ham talisman Declan Rice and Monaco's Aurelien Tchouameni are high on manager Thomas Tuchel's wishlist at the end of the season.
Elsewhere, Kounde has a reported £75million release clause, Rice is valued at £100m while Tchouameni has a £83m price-tag.
If Chelsea were to sign all three players in the summer that outlay would cost £258m, based on those current figures. As a result, the club have decided it would be better to save their money for those targets rather than use part of that budget on another player during the now shut January window.
