No arrivals at Chelsea yet this winter, but that could change very quickly. The Blues have pulled out all the stops on two operations.
Rather discreet this winter, which is a change from past years, Chelsea have decided to wake up 10 days before the end of the transfer window. The Blues entered into two major issues in which they were not necessarily anticipated. This is the one leading to Alejandro Garnacho, which Manchester United is willing to give in to the forcing of Naples. The Italian club, which has just hit the jackpot by selling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG for more than 70 million euros, has made an offer of 50 million for the Argentine striker. A proposal refused by Manchester United. According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will take advantage of this period of latency to get involved in this issue, and why not win the bet with the great hope of the Red Devils. Discussions have in any case already taken place between the London club and the Argentinian international. However, an offer close to 65 million euros would be required to allow the Blues to recover Garnacho.
Two arrivals, 80 million released
At the same time, there is another player being asked to change clubs this winter that Chelsea are suddenly accelerating on. This is Reda Belahyane. A time followed by OM, the midfielder impressed with Hellas Verona, who wanted to take advantage of his great form to sell him quickly. This is good, Gianluca Di Marzio affirms that an agreement is close to being found for 15 million euros, in order to sign the Moroccan international.
-A total envelope of 80 million euros which demonstrates that Chelsea have not lost their ambitions, while a return to the Champions League is finally envisaged with the current fourth place. But this position is fragile, with Manchester City just behind, and a more worrying series of two draws and two defeats in the last four championship matches.
