In these last hours of the summer transfer window, Chelsea are busy strengthening their attack. But it will not be with this nugget.
Since the arrival of its new owner, Todd Boehly last April, Chelsea have exploded the counters in terms of spending on the transfer market. The London formation has indeed spent nearly a billion euros on the market.
Just for this summer, the Blues have already spent 432 million euros on recruitment, including that of Moises Caicedo, which alone cost 134 million euros. While the summer transfer window will close in the coming days, Chelsea plans to recruit yet another attacking talent but the operation seems more complicated than ever.
Barcola move away from Chelsea
In addition to these two recent recruits, Moises Caicedo, the most expensive recruit in Chelsea history and Roméo Lavia, the London club has also offered other talents this summer. Among others: Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku. Injured, the French international is sorely missed by the Blues at the start of the season. In order to compensate for his absence, the residents of Stamford Bridge have set their sights on Bradley Barcola in recent days. According to information from Fabrizio Romano, the London leaders would have contacted the player’s representatives last week. But for the moment no agreement has been reached with their Lyon counterparts. Indeed, John Textor would have informed Chelsea leaders that the price of the player is set at 60 million euros. This sum is considered disproportionate by Chelsea.

In order to find a solution, Lyon would have offered to include the loan of Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos in the deal, but the latter has just signed with Nottingham Forest.
Unless there is another big Chelsea attack in the coming days, Barcola will not play in the Premier League this season, he who is also coveted by PSG.
