“A raw talent” – Vincent Kompany wants Bayern to sign another £68 million Chelsea star
After previously being connected to another player in Enzo Maresca’s team, Bayern Munich is now considering recruiting a £68 million Chelsea player. Initial conversations have been held.
Players who Chelsea might trade up for this summer
In an effort to start Maresca’s new chapter as Chelsea’s head coach, Todd Boehly and the Stamford Bridge board are planning a hectic summer transfer window.
Even before the transfer season opens, Tosin Adarabioyo is already leaving Fulham for Chelsea on a free transfer.
According to reports, the west Londoners could bring in Fabrizio Romano as a striker and another center-back to join Maresca’s roster after Tosin, but some players will have to go to create way for these prospective additions.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Romelu Lukaku, Armando Broja, Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, Malang Sarr and even Raheem Sterling are just some of the players who Chelsea could look to sell when the transfer window reopens on June 14, and it is believed Ian Maatsen is among the Chelsea crop looking very likely to depart as well.
The Dutchman, who starred under Edin Terzic on Borussia Dortmund’s run to the Champions League final last term, has a £35 million release clause in his contract and Dortmund are believed to be keen on signing him permanently. Indeed, it is also apparently the case that Bayern are considering a move for Maatsen, with the two Bundesliga sides considering whether to bring Maatsen to Germany indefinitely.
The 22-year-old, though, isn’t the only Chelsea player who Vincent Kompany and co have their eyes on Stamford Bridge. Versatile first-teamer Levi Colwill, who the west Londoners valued at around £68 million to ward off suitors last year, is now also attracting their interest.
Initial talks held as Bayern consider signing Colwill
Bayern are currently chasing Bayer Leverkusen ace Jonathan Tah as a centre-back option, but according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Kompany’s side have Colwill on their agenda as an alternative – and it isn’t entirely ruled out that they will try and sign both men
Initial talks have apparently been held as Bayern seriously consider signing Colwill, with Plettenberg sharing news on X this week.
The Englishman started 20 league games for Chelsea under Mauricio Pochettino last season and chipped in with some excellent performances. PSG have also registered an interest in Colwill, according to some reports, so it will be interesting to see if Maresca entertains the thought of letting him head to Europe.
