Never satisfied, after a gargantuan winter transfer window, Chelsea would aim for a new highly rated element for next summer.
The Blues, disappointing in the Premier League (9th in the standings), tried to redefine the face of their workforce, in January 2023, with large recruitments, in defense, in the middle and in attack. If there have been few departures, some players are however clearly pushed towards leaving for the next few months.
This is particularly the case of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arrived in January 2022 from FC Barcelona, the 33-year-old Gabonese striker, relegated to the bench this season (3 goals in 18 games, including 11 starts), was removed from the Champions League list by Chelsea. Graham Potter, the coach of the English club, said that this decision was his, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, under contract until 2024, had a bad experience of this affair.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the former ASSE, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund striker will “100%” leave Chelsea soon. What to make room for Rafael Leão?
The Chelsea track for Leão
Linked to AC Milan until 2024, Rafael Leão has been in negotiations for several weeks with his club, for a lease extension. But the discussions between the two parties are long and complicated. Rumors have it that AC Milan haven’t accepted the player’s clan’s latest proposals, causing a rift between the various parties. And a possible departure? Rafael Leão’s agent has denied the possibility, saying the Portuguese wants to stay at Milan.
That said, according to La Stampathe Chelsea club would be ready to take advantage of the uncertain situation around the future of the former Lille player to make an important offer to the 5th in Serie A. Currently, according to the site TransfermarktRafael Leão’s market value is €85m.
Moreover, Chelsea are said to be ready to help the left winger in the dispute with his former club Sporting CP. Rafael Leão would indeed have a debt of 20M euros with the Portuguese team, after a disputed breach of contract.
