Chelsea is now ready to create a formal approach for “electricity” £40 million, which can join alongside RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons.
Blues enhances tracking new attackers
The Bruce have already been significantly bolstering their offensive options this summer, signing Liam Dellup, Joa Pedro and Jamie Gittens, but they remain keen to add at least twice to the forward line.
Zabi Simons is one of the midfielders in the attack lined up for a move to Stamford Bridge, and Romano has revealed that the Dutch would like to participate.
Not only are Enzo Maresca’s side trying to introduce a new offensive midfielder, but they’re also keen to sign a new winger despite already adding Jamie Gitens this summer.
In a catch-offside report, Romano said Chelsea is ready to make an approach to Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho.
Once the deal selling the two forwards is complete, the Blues will be pushing Simons and Garnacho, identified as two main targets, with suggestions that the latter player’s deal could be £40 million.
Although Bruce has already agreed to personal terms with the Argentinians, discussions about the deal with Simons are considered to be more sophisticated, so Dutchman could be his next new arrival.
“Electric” Garnacho needs to leave Man Utd
Manchester United fans have spoken out about the winger’s behavior this summer. He definitely reached a boiling point when he was painted with an Aston Villa shirt with the name Marcus Rashford on his back.
So if there’s a 21-year-old move this summer and United’s loss could benefit Chelsea, it’s probably best for all involved.
The Red Devils finished 15th in the Premier League table last season, but Argentine International was sometimes able to impress.
Journalist Liam Canning has also praised the Starlet as “electric” in the past, and he has already gained many first-team experience, earning 26 goals and 22 assists in Man United’s total 144 appearances.
So the £40 million transfer fee is reasonable, Chelsea hopes to get a contract as soon as possible, and the new Premier League campaign is expected to start soon.
