CHELSEA TRANSFER NEWS : THE SWAP DEAL
Man Utd and Chelsea are involved in talks for an amazing transfer scenario. Where Raheem Sterling who has been an outcast under Enzo Maresca has been offered to Man Utd to facilitate the transfer of Jadon Sancho. Man Utd on the other hand want Jadon Sancho permanantly out of their system. Even though a potential comeback after reconciling with Erik ten Hag would have been sort of a redemption tale. It is unlikely that we would see that happen. Juventus have also made contact over a potential loan deal with buy clause but sallary coverage is an issue.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Jadon Sancho is open for both moves as Juventus and Chelsea talk with Man Utd with two different scenarios in mind. Chelsea will only be happy to go through with the deal if and only if Man Utd take one of their unwanted players. Most porbably it will be Raheem Sterling, but Ben Chilwell was also on their list. Juventus want a loan deal with buy option but we still don’t know about the fee involved. The sallary coverage is another factor both clubs are dealing with now.
OSIMHEN SAGA
Chelsea have been in talks with Victor Osimhen for some time now. Both clubs were in contact for the past few weeks over the transfer of Romelu Lukaku and now that deal is almost done. Only the official announcement awaits the rest is done. As of the Victor Osimhen saga. the Nigerian striker has an offer from the middle east. Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli have made a formal bid of 55 million pounds to Napoli for Osimhen. The clubs have agreed but Osimhen is favouring to stay in Europe. Al Ahli offer is on the table but it will only proceed if Chelsea decide no to go forward with the deal.
It has also been confirmed that PSG have backed off and Chelsea and Al Ahli are the only two clubs involved in the deal. Chelsea have been considering alternatives since Victor Osimhen doesn’t want to reduce he sallary. Talks are ongoing in attempt to reach an agreement. If and only If Chelsea back off from deal, Al Ahli will enter the race. Osimhen’s first choice is to stay in Europe.
CHELSEA’S OSIMHEN ALTERNATIVE
Another one of Chelsea transfer news is that, they could swap their idea of getting their long term target Victor Osimhen with the prospects of signing Ivan Toney for 50 million pounds. Chelsea are considering Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen as their top two targets as they want to sign a striker before the transfer window shuts.
According to football.london, Signing Ivan Toney would be far more porbable economically than signing Victor Osimhen. We have also seen that agreeing personal terms with Victor Osimhen is a daunting task. In the case of Ivan Toney it would be more happening for Chelsea. However Osimhen sould still remain as the first priority in their four man list of strikers. It will not be a surprise if Chelsea choose to snub on their long term target and go for Ivan Toney.
