Chelsea are looking at striker even after signing Liam Delap and Joao Pedro last summer. Their new manager, Liam Rosenior, is looking to make big changes to his squad ahead of next summer.
The former Hull City manager has been quite influential since taking up the role from Enzo Maresca. And, one of the biggest decisions he has made is selling Enzo Fernandez.
Yes, Chelsea have decided to sell the Argentine if they get a suitable offer. Now, Real Madrid are showing strong interest in signing the Chelsea midfielder.
Apart from Madrid, PSG are another club that could submit a huge bid for the World Cup winner. Now, the Blues are looking to reinvest the money they earn from Fernandez’s sale.
And, one of the primary positions Rosenior wants to fill is the striker. The new Chelsea boss wants more output from his strikers. That is why he is ready to make a statement signing.
They are already in advanced talks for a centre-back. Jeremy Jacquet of Rennes is close to joining Stamford Bridge, with the Blues already agreeing personal terms with the defender.
Now, they have also set their sights on a former Premier League winner with Manchester City. And, the Blues are ready to splash €86 million for the striker.
According to Hooligan Soccer, Chelsea are eyeing a move for the Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez. The former Manchester City striker joined the Premier League club in 2022.
However, he left the Citizens in 2024 to get a more prominent role with the Los Colchoneros. And the Argentine World Cup winner certainly delivered at Metropolitano.
For Atletico Madrid, Alvarez has made 84 appearances so far and scored 40 goals. This season, he has made 27 appearances for the club, scoring 11 goals.
So, signing a prolific striker like Alvarez will surely boost Chelsea’s output upfront.
