Despite the condemnation of financial fair play and the 284 million euros spent last summer, Chelsea intend to withdraw their checkbook this winter.
Newly arrived at the helm of the Chelsea Blues, Todd Boehly put his sporting ambitions at the center of his speech. His words that he tried to turn into deeds by spending lavishly last summer, the beautiful figure of 284 million euros. A record for the Premier League. A strategy that is struggling to take off on a sporting level while the London team is in ninth position (21 points), already far from the leading quartet. A position that is far from being in line with the objectives set when, second The Athleticthe English leaders want to be competitive in the league, Champions League and FA Cup. Only one solution to restore the situation, Chelsea will still be crazy this winter.
If Chelsea are unable to spend generously due to financial fair play, major arrivals should still be observed. Again according to the British press, the Blues have targeted two key positions. With only Aubameyang and Havertz, Chelsea, who will be without the injured Armando Broja, are keen to sign a new attacking element before Christopher Nkunku arrives this summer as they search for a centre-back. If a market opportunity arises in another location, it obviously won’t be ruled out.
Priorities that give rise to a multitude of indiscretions while several profiles are already manned. In attack, the names of David Datro Fofana (Molde), Memphis Depay (FC Barcelona), Joao Félix (Atlético de Madrid), Youssoufa Moukoko (Dortmund) and Rafael Leao (AC Milan) seem to be the most promising while in defense the Blues they would now give priority to Benoît Badiashile rather than Josko Gvardiol.
