“He’s very strong in attack, I want him in my team” – Enzo Maresca gives green light for Chelsea to sign 21-years-old Madrid attacker in January
When the January transfer window opens in a few weeks, CHELSEA is reportedly interested in signing Pablo Barrios, the teenage midfielder for Atletico Madrid.
In his efforts to assemble a team that can contend for a Champions League spot and, in the upcoming seasons, a Premier League championship, Enzo Maresca has done a respectable job at Chelsea.
Despite having one of the largest teams in world football at the moment and several players who haven’t even played much this season, the media has continued to speculate that the board is considering their next transfer acquisition and are
What is the latest.
Barrios has emerged as one of the great promises of Spanish football. At just 21 years old, the academy player has shown quality, vision and a maturity on the pitch that has captured the attention of top-level teams in Europe, including Chelsea according to Fichajes
The report claims that Chelsea are willing to make a move with an offer of around 50 million euros to get the services of the Madrid player, although he has shown no real desire to leave the Spanish giants.
The lad is talented and showing great potential at Madrid, but why would he want to leave at this stage of his career when he is playing for a big club in one of the best Leagues in the world.
If CHELSEA are prepared to offer crazy money in order to get a transfer deal done, then fair enough, but the lad is not really needed at the Blues and would struggle to make any sort of impact.
For the sake of the lads career, he needs to stay put, but if the money is there, Madrid will take it
ENDRICK GREEN LIGHT?
Brazilian wonderkid Endrick is once again being linked with a loan move away from Real Madrid, as CHELSEA, Tottenham and Juventus are credited with interest in a possible loan deal during the January transfer window.
Enzo Maresca has come into Chelsea and done a pretty good job at the club as he looks to build a side that is capable of challenging for a Champions League place, and then a Premier League title in the next couple of seasons.
The Blues have one of the biggest squads in word football right now and have a number of players that have not even seen much game time this season, but that has not stopped speculation in the media that the board are looking at their next transfer signing.
What is the latest on Endrick?
Endrick has played just 39 minutes of La Liga football this season, through seven substitute appearances, and has two goals to his name across all competitions. Talk of the youngster leaving in January has previously been played down, but Real are said to be reconsidering their options.
According to Fichajes, Endrick could be on the move early in 2025. With Real eager to find him regular game time, a loan switch elsewhere may be sanctioned and CHELSEA are seriously interested in the lad.
The Blues were one of the clubs that were very interested in signing Endrick during the time when he was back in Brazil, and only missed out because Madrid were the lads dream.
