Chelsea’s Approach for Virgil van Dijk Falls Short
According to talkSPORT, Chelsea’s efforts to sign Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk have been unsuccessful.
The club looked into acquiring the Dutch defender, but Liverpool promptly turned down the proposal.
Van Dijk remains a vital player at Anfield and is deemed indispensable by the club. Despite Chelsea’s need for defensive options, it appears the 32-year-old will not be moving in January.
Enzo Fernandez Could Be Part of a Surprise Deal for Vinicius Jr.
El Nacional reports that Chelsea might be willing to include Enzo Fernandez in a significant swap deal with Real Madrid for Vinicius Jr.
Madrid sees the Argentine midfielder as a long-term asset, and his potential inclusion could facilitate one of the biggest transfers of the year.
However, Real Madrid would only think about selling Vinicius Jr. for a record fee. Chelsea’s readiness to negotiate using a key player has sparked renewed interest in this potential transfer chain between the Premier League and La Liga.
Chelsea Shows Interest in Roma Goalkeeper Mile Svilar
Chelsea is reportedly among the clubs monitoring Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar, as noted by CaughtOffside. Both Chelsea and Manchester United are following the Serbian international, who has performed well under coach Daniele De Rossi this season.
Roma is estimated to value the 24-year-old at around €60 million. With Robert Sanchez currently sidelined, Chelsea’s desire for a reliable long-term goalkeeper has grown this month.
Chelsea Faces Competition for Dro Fernandez
talkSPORT indicates that Chelsea is one of several top clubs vying for 18-year-old midfielder Dro Fernandez.
The talented young player has attracted interest from Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, and Barcelona, who are also keeping a close eye on his situation.
Chelsea is optimistic about securing his signature but might encounter tough competition given the number of elite European clubs involved.
