Harder bids farewell to Sporting fans, but striker’s future could change | OneFootball

Chelsea could be the destination for Conrad Harder in this transfer window. The Danish forward from Sporting has been linked with a move away from Alvalade, and a deal confirming this scenario seems imminent, but there is still no certainty regarding the player's destination.

After an initial tussle between Rennes and Milan, Leipzig took the lead in the race to sign Conrad Harder, surpassing the French and Italians to secure the services of the 20-year-old Sporting player. Just when everything seemed practically confirmed, a new player enters the summer saga.

Chelsea experienced an uncomfortable situation last Saturday. The Londoners sent Nicolas Jackson to Munich, where he was to undergo medical exams and sign with Bayern. However, the Blues' striker, Liam Delap, was injured in this weekend's match, leaving the team of former Sporting player Dário Essugo with limited options in attack.

Chelsea blocked the deal for Nicolas Jackson, but the player's desire was to leave the club, so the Blues' officials are making an effort to resolve the situation. In this context, the name of Conrad Harder appears on Chelsea's list of potential reinforcements.

Thus, to unblock Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea is considering Conrad Harder. However, with the transfer window about to close, the newspaper Record reports that the most likely destination for the Danish forward, who still belongs to Sporting, is indeed Leipzig, in the Bundesliga.
