Chelsea are acting on a potential opportunity to try and sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie De Jong before the transfer window is over this summer.
The situation at his club currently, means Chelsea sense an opportunity and hope to take advantage of his dramatic wages and financial issues at the Catalan club.
Chelsea are pushing hard to sign him now and both Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel really want to the player. Of course, the decision rests with De Jong, but we hope to hear of a conclusion on this saga very soon.
Si & Dan Talk Chelsea have an inside report on the very latest situation on where we are at right now with this deal, as well as an extensive report on what Chelsea’s plans are for De Jong as they look to transform their midfield and build for the future.
Chelsea reportedly see De Jong as the long-term future of their midfield, with growing concerns that neither Jorginho or N’Golo Kante will extend their contracts.
The report states that Chelsea have a plan for De Jong and have communicated that to him and his people. Boehly has been in direct contact with De Jong himself and explained that the plan would be to bed him in slowly to the Chelsea team, because we have seen so many other players come to the Premier League from abroad and really struggle.
