Chelsea Transfer News: Chelsea interested in Joao Felix, Barcelona eye Bosman move for Cesar Azpilicueta
This season, Chelsea is aiming for the Premier League title. The Blues won the UEFA Champions League last season and the UEFA Super Cup this year. To add to his remarkable collection, Thomas Tuchel now wants the coveted league title.
Chelsea is interested in an Atletico Madrid player who may cost them €80 million off the field. Barcelona is planning a free transfer for a Blues defender next summer.
Chelsea interested in Joao Felix
According to Caught Offside through Don Balon, Chelsea is interested in Joao Felix. Blues owner Roman Abramovich is said to be a fan of Atletico Madrid’s star player and is willing to support a move for him. Since joining the La Liga club, Felix has had a rough time. He is, nevertheless, still a sought-after player as a result of his accomplishments with Benfica.
Chelsea is interested in bringing the midfielder to Stamford Bridge and has not been put off by his €80 million price tag. Atletico Madrid is interested in a swap deal in which Timo Werner would move to the Wanda Metropolitano.
Werner has battled since arriving at Stamford Bridge last summer, much like the Portuguese. So the Blues may not mind letting the German striker go, especially since he is no longer Thomas Tuchel’s first choice.
The change may be beneficial to all parties involved. Both players would be given the opportunity to resurrect their careers. Chelsea is aware that Felix’s arrival will relieve pressure on Romelu Lukaku, as well as providing an upgrade over Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech.
Although his poor record for Atletico Madrid may cause some anxiety, the 21-year-old has the pedigree and time to turn his career around.
Barcelona is considering a move for Cesar Azpilicueta
According to The Hard Tackle through Fichajes, Barcelona is interested in signing Cesar Azpilicueta next summer. The Chelsea captain’s current contract expires next summer, and no agreement has yet been reached to prolong his stay at the club. Despite his significance in Thomas Tuchel’s scheme, the Blues have yet to sign him to a new contract.
The Blaugrana are keeping a close eye on what’s going on at Stamford Bridge. Due to their financial difficulties, the La Liga giants have been compelled to pursue free agents. Azpilicueta is the latest in a long line of free agents associated with Blaugrana. Chelsea, on the other hand, is anticipated to extend his contract.
