Chelsea are keen to sign a new winger this summer. As per the latest reports, they are in contact with world-class Portugese winger. The player is very likely to be available in summer window.
Chelsea are headed for another big summer window. They will back Enzo Maresca to bring in some players of his choice. The Italian is keen to improve all positions. As for the final third, he wants a new striker and a new winger.
The Blues are keen to bring in a new left-winger. They are set to lose Joao Felix, Nkunku and Mudryk this summer. Hence, they want the new player to be able to play on right and in middle when needed. As of now, they are viewing Serie A ace as their top target.

The star in question here is Rafael Leao of AC Milan. According to Fichajes, the Blues have made informal contact about the summer move. In addition, the report states that the West London giants are in talks with Leao’s agent Jorge Mendes.
AC Milan are likely to lose their key players as they will not play in UCL next season. As of now, Leao along with Theo Hernandez is linked with exit. This will present Chelsea with a chance to land the 25 year old Portugese winger.
Leao has been superb for AC Milan ever since joining them. He is rated amongst the top wingers in the world right now. Earlier, Chelsea tried to sign him but were unwilling to trigger his €150 million release clause. Milan are likely to lower their demands giving the Blues another chance to sign him.
Leao is the type of player Chelsea need at the moment. They have a squad full of young players that lack experience. The 25 year old can inject the club with much needed leadership in the final third. Maresca has also asked the board to bring him some proven stars.
