Chelsea now just one step away from agreeing another deal to sign new centre back
After confirming the arrival of free agent Tosin Adarabioyo earlier this month, Chelsea is now just £6 million away from reaching an agreement to sign yet another center back this summer.
Naturally, Tosin was a Fulham supporter, but he declined offers from other teams and decided to sign with Chelsea instead of extending his contract there.
However, Chelsea has continued to search for new center backs this transfer window. This one, however, is unlikely to join the first squad right immediately; instead, he’ll likely wind up joining BlueCo, Strasbourg, Chelsea’s sister club.
Naturally, this is all conjecture, and Chelsea and his team haven’t even reached a contract yet.
But according to The Daily Mirror, Chelsea are just £6m off agreeing said deal with his club.
The report claims that Chelsea have made an opening bid of around £14 million for Aaron Anselmino. Sources close to the player have indicated that Boca are reluctant to accept the offer and they will continue to point suitors towards Anselmino’s £20m release clause.
This is yet another young teenager from South America that Chelsea are trying to sign before they get too big and too expensive. Every day we hear a different young name that Chelsea are trying to sign as they continue to stockpile young talent.
They will see it as a win win I suspect. Because if they don’t make it at Chelsea, then they will be hoping they can at least sell them all on for a profit. But I guess to do that they will have to be actually playing football and developing. It’s a risky strategy, and it also risks putting their own youth academy at Cobham in discontent. Sure they know what they’re doing though……
