BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea has arranged medical exams to sign a “top talent” in addition to Fulham defenders, following the agreement of a 5-year contract.
Chelsea have been focused on strengthening their squad following a challenging season under former manager Mauricio Pochettino. They aim to complete significant transfers in the remaining days before the new season begins.
After acquiring Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham, Chelsea have secured a right-back. However, with Trevor Chalobah potentially leaving, the manager faces the challenge of establishing a solid defense before the season starts.
Chelsea have suffered two defeats and secured only one win in their pre-season friendlies. Manager Enzo Maresca is looking to bolster the team further to compete for the title.
Julian Alvarez has been a target for Chelsea recently due to his impressive performance last season. There is growing speculation about the competitiveness of this transfer. Pep Guardiola has set a £70 million release clause for Alvarez, and reports suggest Chelsea might navigate this deal smoothly.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea is also working on an offer for Victor Osimhen. The addition of Alvarez could add to the speculation as the Blues manager seeks a more clinical forward.
Dani Olmo has been a long-term target, and while Arsenal is monitoring him, Enzo Maresca seems focused on finalizing a deal for Osimhen, especially since Napoli is content with Romelu Lukaku.
Chelsea has also sparked interest in Samu Omorodion as a potential forward replacement, with reports indicating he may have a more clinical finish than Nicolas Jackson.
Although Julian Alvarez could fit the manager’s style of play, the £70 million release clause could delay the deal until Chelsea completes other major transfers.
Additionally, Conor Gallagher has been linked with Atletico Madrid, who are reportedly willing to increase his wages. A £30 million offer is on the table, and the situation now depends on Gallagher’s decision to accept the move.
Having already rejected a new contract with his current club, Gallagher seems inclined to seek new opportunities, which could help Chelsea finalize their major deals.
