Since the takeover of Chelsea by the consortium led by American businessman Todd Boehly, the London club has broken records in terms of investments on the transfer market. Indeed, the Blues have spent more than 1.1 billion euros during the last 3 transfer periods.
A spending spree which has not borne fruit, since Chelsea remains in a sad season which was punctuated by a 12th place in the Premier League. And the 2023-2024 financial year got off to a bad start, with Mauricio Pochettino’s men in a poor 14th place. Proof that money without sports policy doesn’t lead to much.
And yet Todd Boehly does not seem to have learned his lesson, since he does not rule out putting his hand in his pocket during the next transfer window.
Not convinced by the young Noni Madueke who could be loaned, but also by Mykhaylo Mudryk who has been ghostly since his arrival last January and who cost a fortune, the Chelsea board has a young Spanish international in its sights.
Indeed, Nico Williams is very popular with the London club. A 10-time Spanish international, the 21-year-old winger who is currently injured has had a very good start to the season with 4 assists in 4 matches for Athletic Bilbao.
A profile all the more interesting as Nico Williams is reaching the end of his contract. Therefore, if no agreement is reached for an extension before January, it could not be accepted in the event of a good offer. Note that Barça is also in the running, but is clearly not the favorite due to its financial situation.
