However, TEAMtalk indicates that a deal is unlikely to conclude in January. Chelsea had considered acquiring the 23-year-old this past summer, but he signed an extension in January through 2029, meaning Forest would expect a fee over \u00a370 million, putting them in a stronger position. Chelsea may still seek to sign the Brazilian if they are in a title-challenging position by the January window.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; According to Marca, <strong>Sergio Ramos<\/strong> is leaving Monterrey with interest from Saudi Arabia, MLS, and European leagues.
