Todd Boehly ‘wants to sign’ £130M star as immediate Kante replacement
Todd Bohely is interested in acquiring Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund as a temporary replacement for Ngolo Kante of Chelsea.
Chelsea had interest in signing Bellingham during the summer transfer window, but Dortmund made it clear they would not consider selling one of their most promising players.
Instead of engaging in a major summer transfer fight the next summer, it is commonly thought that all the major clubs will be looking into a potential deal for Bellingham during the January transfer window.
Todd Boehly has been keen to prove that Chelsea are at the front of the queue to sign the England international from Borussia Dortmund as he looks set to leave the Bundesliga giants in the coming windows
While the 19-year-old’s reported valuation of £130million may not prove to be an issue for mega-rich Chelsea, Bellingham is wanted by Manchester City and Man United, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona as clubs queue up for the teenager.
The investment may be worth it given Bellingham’s class and his youthful age, with his ability to control play from the middle as well as scoring goals making him a valuable asset.
Kante has been brilliant for Chelsea over his time with the club – but over the last few seasons he has spent more time on the sidelines than actually playing and the Blues know that they need to look to the future
