Reports from both England and Spain suggest a mix of bold ambitions and unexpected targets. We’ve put together a roundup of Chelsea’s latest transfer stories.
Chelsea spurned in their pursuit of Virgil van Dijk
According to talkSPORT, Chelsea have failed in their attempt to lure Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues reportedly explored the possibility of signing the Dutch defender, but Liverpool immediately rejected any approach.
Van Dijk remains a central figure at Anfield and is considered untouchable by the club hierarchy. Despite Chelsea’s growing interest in defensive reinforcements, the 32-year-old will not be leaving Merseyside in January.
Enzo Fernandez could be used in shocking Vinicius Jr. signing
A report from El Nacional claims Chelsea could be open to including Enzo Fernandez in a stunning swap deal involving Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr.
The Argentine midfielder has been identified by Madrid as a long-term target in the middle of the park, and his potential involvement could help unlock one of the biggest deals of the year.
The report suggests Real Madrid would only consider selling Vinicius Jr. for a record-breaking fee, but Chelsea’s willingness to negotiate using a key player as leverage has reignited speculation about a major Premier League–La Liga transfer chain.
Chelsea linked with Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar
Chelsea are reportedly among the clubs monitoring Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar. According to CaughtOffside, the Blues and Manchester United are both tracking the Serbian international, who has impressed under Daniele De Rossi this season.
Roma are believed to value the 24-year-old at around €60 million. With Robert Sanchez currently recovering from injury, Chelsea’s interest in a long-term goalkeeping option has intensified this month.
Chelsea face competition for Dro Fernandez
talkSPORT reports that Chelsea are one of several top clubs pursuing 18-year-old midfielder Dro Fernandez.
The highly rated youngster has drawn strong interest from Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, with Barcelona also monitoring the situation closely.
Chelsea are said to be confident about their chances of securing his signature but could face a major battle given the number of European giants in the race.
