Chelsea London has really big plans in the summer. Like last year, they are looking for reinforcements in the German top flight. However, in addition to the Bundesliga, it is also hunting in Serie A.
The first reinforcement that could be announced within a few weeks could be Achraf Hakimi. However, Inter Milan’s management is willing to consider an offer approaching £70 million.
The Stamford Bridge outfit have already reportedly made a concrete offer of £56 million to Milan. However, the Londoners have also offered Inter two more defenders – Andreas Christensen and Emerson Palmieri. So, let’s see how the representatives of the Italian champion will react to this offer.
Another player that Chelsea London has on their radar is Jonas Hofmann from Borussia Mönchengladbach. However, Tottenham and Atlético Madrid are also interested in the 28-year-old winger.
The club’s sporting director has valued Hofmann at €40 million. ” If a club comes in and puts down that kind of money, I can’t say we’re not interested,” he noted. Hofmann has played 24 games in the Bundesliga this season, scoring six goals and assisting eleven more.
And finally – Chelsea will try to attract the Borussia Dortmund superstar this summer. In any case, the Westphalian club’s management has been quite clear about the transfer. The possible transfer of Erling Haaland is linked to the de facto certain departure of Jadon Sancho to Manchester United.
Borussia is willing to sacrifice Sancho in order to keep Haaland. And apart from Chelsea, the Old Trafford club is also interested in the Norwegian sniper. Based on ESPN information, the Blues would pay about 154 million pounds for the transfer.
In the previous season, Haaland played 41 games for Borussia across all competitions, scoring an impressive 41 goals and adding twelve assists.
The Stamford Bridge club will also have to reckon with several departures. According to the British media, the Blues striker Tammy Abraham will try to be acquired by Leicester. Chelsea secured the services of Olivier Giroud a few days ago, which may mean a move for the 23-year-old striker.
Hakim Ziyech was to receive a concrete offer on the table. He could move to Italy in case of a reasonable offer, specifically to San Siro, where AC Milan are interested in his services.
In fact, the Rossoneri tried to acquire Giroud, but all negotiations were eventually terminated with the signing of a new contract. However, Fikayo Tomori will surely head to Milan. According to Sky Sports Italia, AC Milan representatives have decided to activate the option on the 23-year-old stopper. It will cost the Italian outfit €28 million.
Chelsea fans also already have to reckon with the departure of Michy Batshuayi. The Belgian spent last season on loan at Crystal Palace and the fresh Champions League winner no longer counts on his services.
Tiemoué Bakayoko rounds off the main speculation. The French midfielder was a guest at Napoli in Italy this season. Based on the latest information, the Partenopei will not pursue a permanent transfer and he does not figure in Chelsea’s future plans either. However, it is possible that Bakayoko will stay in Italy as Fiorentina have shown interest in him.
