Chelsea has entered the race for Manchester City striker and Brazil international Gabriel Jesus, according to Spanish news outlet AS.
Chelsea are fearful that a move for the Brazilian striker may be hijacked by Real Madrid, the European and Spanish champions.
Jesus, who scored eight goals in 21 appearances for Man City during their title-winning season last season, is set to depart the Premier League winners this summer after the signing of Erling Haaland.
Chelsea want to sign Jesus, and new owner Todd Boehly wants to make him one of his first signings.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, two Premier League clubs, are reportedly interested in acquiring Jesus this summer.
Chelsea, on the other hand, has an advantage over Real Madrid in the hunt for Jesus since they have a tight quota of just three non-EU players at the club, with Eder Militao, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Jr. filling those slots.
