Chelsea have interest in signing another AC Milan star after their previous pursuits of Rafael Leao and Mike Maignan, according to a report.
David Ornstein’s piece for The Athletic writes that Chelsea have seen a £60m (€70m) offer for Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo rejected, which has forced them to scour the market for alternatives.
The report mentions that Chelsea are still keen on Caicedo but they intend to be ‘disciplined’ in the pursuit, meaning they will not go over the top in relation to what they consider to be fair value for the 21-year-old.
That is why the Blues are ‘studying multiple alternatives to Caicedo’ including Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Kone, Milan’s Sandro Tonali, and Inter’s Nicolo Barella.
It must be noted that any attempt to sign Tonali would likely be a difficult one given that he is a boyhood Milan fan and is a huge part of the Rossoneri’s plans for the future.
LOL. Poor Chelsea. With all the money in the world they still can’t lure Tonali, Maignan and/or Leao to join them this summer.
Yeah only history of brand and part of the plan could beat all the money in the league.
Tbf it looks like Chelsea will bounce back this season. They now have a good coach, liked by the management and players. The only thing that might keep Milan players to stay here is Champions League qualification, which Chelsea does not have (Obviously this is excluding Tonali).
We don’t want your 2nd rate overrated overpriced keeper the only good player is Leao.
Maignan still far better than kepa & mendy. Kepa are the overated & over price GK with 80m euro ,he is not even worth 20m euro
Mendy wins uefa champions league,club world cup, African cup of Nation, super cup.. mention yours
cringe.
Milan have 3 world class players in the club right now.
How many has čelsi?
Why only 3 instead of 4?
Maignan, Theo, Tonali, & Leao?
Tonali is good but he isnt even on Kessie lvl yet. And Kessie isnt WC lvl or maybe he was.. hard to tell
Giroud should also be included. Dude is 36+ and still a key player for us and France.
Funny enough loads of chelsea fans has been quite vocal on fabrizio romanos transfer posts that they wanted him to sign for chelsea. Besides of that i agree with reccaman on this matter if anything chelsea has some overated and overpaid gk’s that also cost far too much so enjoy them surely next year you guys will qualify for europe 😀
I remember how some Chelsea fans were planning to hijack Theo and Maignan after the sacking of Maldini lol
Indeed and in drones bashed serie a as a farmers league when leao renewed his contract and kept saying his career was over but thats expected from epl kids as their egos are 1000 times bigger than their brains.
