“I guess Roman Abramovich will sign him” “Not this new owners”- Chelsea wants to sign Liverpool star in summer as Mudryk replacement
Chelsea are said to be sensing a chance to acquire Liverpool’s Luis Diaz as they seemingly express interest in the forward.
The Blues are aiming to strengthen their attacking choices, and indeed, they require the signing of a new striker, as this position has been overlooked for a considerable period.
Over the last five transfer windows, the Blues have not managed to acquire a genuine and established number 9. Nicolas Jackson will always be more of a wide forward than a centre forward in my eyes, and while Marc Guiu shows promise, he is still very young and inexperienced. Christopher Nkunku is NOT a forward.
The Blues were linked with a host of new strikers in the January transfer window, with Liam Delap of Ipswich Town being the most heavily linked. They also looked at names such as Benjamin Sesko. However, they did not sign a new striker, something they have consistently failed to do in five transfer windows.
Could Diaz now be added to Chelsea’s list of attacking options they are looking at? Well, according to local reports, yes.
Chelsea in for Diaz
Chelsea are reportedly setting their sights on Diaz, according to Colombian outlet Antena 2.
With two years left on his Liverpool contract, Diaz has yet to commit to an extension, sparking speculation about his long-term plans.
Antena 2 reports that Chelsea are eager to lure Diaz to Stamford Bridge with a lucrative offer that would position him among the highest-paid players at the club. “The Colombian could be one of the ‘aces’ up the sleeve of the Chelsea management,” the report states.
Yeah this doesn’t sound like something new Chelsea would do. Maybe Roman Abramovich Chelsea, but not the current ownership. Think we can safely shelve this one as probably being untrue.
