Bayern Munich offered double money to hijack £51m Chelsea signing
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Reports have surfaced indicating that Chelsea might be at risk of losing out on one of their top targets for the upcoming summer transfer window. With the season drawing to a close, Stamford Bridge anticipates a flurry of activity in both incoming and outgoing transfers.
The club’s pursuit of certain targets could be influenced by their European football status for the next season. Currently positioned in the top seven, there’s pressure from ownership for Chelsea to secure a spot in the Europa League. This places a significant burden on manager Mauricio Pochettino to deliver results.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding their European qualification, Chelsea is steadfast in their pursuit of Estevao Willian, recognized globally as one of the premier young talents in football. Under Todd Boehly’s leadership at Stamford Bridge, there’s been a strong emphasis on securing the best young talents ahead of elite competitors.
However, recent reports suggest a potential snag in Chelsea’s plans. While they’ve reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with the 17-year-old sensation, Bayern Munich has emerged as a late contender in the race. Bayern’s offer, allegedly surpassing Chelsea’s, poses a threat to the Blues’ pursuit of Estevao.
Adding to the complexity, any club vying for Estevao’s signature aims to circumvent his substantial release clause. Despite Chelsea’s depth in the right-wing position, highlighted by talents like Kendry Paez and Omari Hutchinson, securing Estevao’s services remains a priority. Hutchinson, returning early from a successful loan spell, provides another option for Pochettino to consider as Chelsea navigates the challenges of the transfer market.
