Real Madrid fans have responded.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since the 3-0 hammering at Brentford, it is quite clear that <a href=\"http:\/\/thechelseachronicle\/club\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Chelsea<\/a> require improvement at the back. Whether that be tactically, on the training pitch, or in the transfer market remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-grvmedia-grv-video GRVMultiVideo\"\/>\n<p>But Chelsea are busy working behind the scenes to identify a handful of defensive targets ahead of the January window, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/columnist\/ranking-the-four-defenders-chelsea-are-weighing-up-ahead-of-january-including-70m-ace\/\">Jacobo Ramon, Abdukodir Khusanov<\/a> and England defender Tyrick Mitchell.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-real-madrid-fans-wished-raul-asencio-was-sold-in-the-summer\">Real Madrid fans wished Raul Asencio was sold in the summer<\/h2>\n<p>Another defender being linked with Chelsea in the past few days is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/columnist\/chelsea-bid-for-real-madrid-star-in-the-summer-but-failed-alonso-reunion-is-a-blessing-in-disguise\/\">Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio<\/a>. It is claimed that the Spanish giants received offers from Chelsea, Liverpool and a cash-rich Turkish club.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the reports, Real Madrid fans have taken to social media to discuss Asencio leaving the Santiago Bernabeu and many wish that the 22-year-old has joined the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool or elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Some were stunned that Chelsea and Liverpool were considering the player, with many believing he is simply not good enough: \u201cFootball is really dying if Liverpool and Chelsea actually went for the dude.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"grv-talking-point\" data-trigger=\"vue-sidebar\" data-story-id=\"5a9c74ee-9dfb-4c17-80a3-f12c2bcadb5e\" data-story-name=\"Talk Chelsea\" data-comment-id=\"344c200a-ec47-42a3-a4da-36aac32d35ba\" data-story-slug=\"talk-chelsea\" data-reply-count-known=\"8\"><a class=\"grv-tpwp-permalink-overlay\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/talkingpoints\/talk-chelsea\/chelsea-signed-more-experienced-players-this-summer-to-get-serious-what-impact-has-it-made-on-the-team-so-far-%f0%9f%a4%94\/\" aria-label=\"Chelsea signed more experienced players this summer to get SERIOUS!

Others wished he had left.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChelsea needs a defender, and Asencio could be huge for them\u201d, was one fan\u2019s verdict. Another hoped a deal is still possible, commenting, \u201cyou have to go\u201d in response to posts reporting Chelsea\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n<p>Another told Florentino Perez to sell Asencio, posting: \u201cPerez get rid\u201d. Clearly, Madrid fans don\u2019t rate the defender that highly and would like to see him sold, instead of representing the club once again.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-mourinho-unlikely-to-sell-to-chelsea\">Jose Mourinho unlikely to sell to Chelsea <\/h2>\n<p>There are two reasons for that. Remarkably, Jose Mourinho has never actually sold a player to Chelsea despite his extensive CV of different clubs, aside from his two spells as manager at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>That, and Chelsea had already sold Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid. It wouldn\u2019t make much sense for Madrid to sell a defender to Chelsea, having just signed a defender from the Blues.
