Chelsea opens up to sell €62M Chelsea star next year after missing Forest game
Chelsea is reportedly considering selling Romeo Lavia next year as they scout a potential replacement in Serie A.
Lavia joined the Blues from Southampton last year with a high reputation, but he has struggled to find his feet due to injuries and competition for spots.
The Belgian appeared only once last season due to two long-term ailments, and he has only played three games this season.
Lavia is far from a lock to start right now. Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez are manager Enzo Maresca’s first choice options.
Tuttomercatoweb now claim that the Blues had scouts in attendance to watch Hellas Verona midfielder Reda Belahyane in action in Serie A.
The Blues have been impressed by the 20-year-old’s displays and he could be seen as a replacement for Lavia, who could be sold pretty soon.
The news will come as a huge surprise for many Chelsea fans, considering Lavia has immense potential in him despite his frequent injuries.
