Szalai’s January transfer to Chelsea is a done deal, says Marco Rossi
Attila Szalai’s transfer to Chelsea has been speculated for some time, but Hungarian national team coach Marco Rossi has now come up with information that makes it seem like a done deal. Of course, this also hints at the expected departures of several Blues stoppers.
Attila Szalai’s transfer to Chelsea has been speculated for some time, but Hungarian national team coach Marco Rossi has now come up with information that makes it seem like a done deal. Of course, this also hints at the expected departures of several Blues stoppers.
Szalai may still have a contract at Fenerbahce until 2025, but it seems that he won’t fill it anymore. “He is being watched by several clubs in Spain, but his departure to Chelsea is a done deal. But he would be a great player for Italian football as well,” Rossi said in an interview with Calciomercato.
The Hungarian stopper has particularly impressed Thomas Tuchel on the international stage, where he has played against England in qualifying for the upcoming World Cup. However, he has already played 23 games for the Hungarian national team and has also featured in five Europa League matches in the current season.
As for the current season, Szalai has played 14 games for Fenerbahce in the Turkish top flight and is the mainstay of the defensive line. In addition, Tuchel also practices a three-defender formation, not four. This is another factor that may bring him a little closer to winning a new contract.
Moreover, the Premier League should be a great fit for Szalai as he is a very strong player with a good jump shot, plus he is quick and agile. He is also good with the ball as long passes are his forte.
Moreover, there is talk of several defenders leaving Chelsea, so the 23-year-old full-back could be an adequate replacement for the possible loss of Antonio Rüdiger, Thiago Silva or Cesar Azpilicueta.
However, Jules Koundé, who currently plays for Sevilla, is also said to be one of the options. However, given the Blues’ financial capabilities, it is not out of the question that both of the aforementioned defenders will arrive at Stamford Bridge over time.
