Fabrizio Romano confirms Chelsea are actually interested in world class winger this summer | OneFootball

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea are actually interested in signing a world class winger this summer.

There is a lot going on this week in the aftermath of the first summer transfer window closing on Tuesday night ahead of the Club World Cup.

EXCLUSIVE! Mike Maignan to Chelsea is NOT over, Petrovic up for sale, Sanchez available!

Chelsea failed to sign Mike Maignan and Jamie Gittens after being in talks, but there are other situations ongoing right now, such as the future of Trevoh Chalobah, who is wanted by Napoli this summer.

There was also a report out earlier in the week detailing the stats that prove Chelsea should have, and still can, sign Maignan from AC Milan this summer simply because he’s a big upgrade.

United join Chelsea in race for Ekitike

Manchester United have now apparently entered the race for Chelsea and Liverpool target Hugo Ekitike having made contact with Eintracht Frankfurt within the last 48 hours. The price tag remains at €100m.

I can’t see Chelsea hanging around much more with this one if that price does not come down, especially the fact that they are now seemingly in a transfer battle to sign him. I can see them moving on now and going to a new target – that could now genuinely happen.

Romano says Chelsea still want Williams

Fabrizio Romano reports Chelsea and Arsenal are also interested in Nico Williams but both English clubs feel that in terms of salary, this deal is really complicated.

It is Bayern Munich who are being mentioned the most for Williams right now and they are the team that feels most likely for his next destination.

But it’s clear that Chelsea do still have an interest, with some others claiming that they didn’t.
