Chelsea are reportedly ready to outbid Real Madrid in order to sign one rising Premier League star this coming summer transfer window.
The Blues are expected to be busy now this summer, and we have had plenty of updates floating around this week already.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has put out his latest YouTube video at the weekend with a bunch of info in that. The main takeaway was Romano saying Chelsea are going to be in the market for a new striker, a centre back, and a winger in the summer.
And there has also been a lot of noise regarding Jadon Sancho and whether Chelsea will actually be signing him from Manchester United permanently in the summer or not. The Athletic are reporting that there is a £5m break clause fee that Chelsea can pay to send him back and terminate the loan obligation to buy.
Another position they are looking at signing in, as Romano says above, is the centre back area, with not as much being said or reported on that as the new striker search.
But one player on the Blues radar is Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen, who is a rising star in the game and seemingly has some of the biggest clubs now in for him.

Chelsea are reportedly prepared to pay over the odds to beat Real Madrid to the signing of Huijsen this summer.
He is on the radar of Real Madrid, who, according to Spanish outlet Cadena SER, recently entertained Huijsen’s father at their Valdebebas training ground where he had a serendipitous encounter with club president Florentino Perez.
According to the report, Chelsea are ready to try their luck at torpedoing the move and are prepared to offer wages far in excess of what is being offered in Madrid.
Chelsea do not offer big wages anymore, that’s common knowledge. So unfortunately I don’t see an ounce of truth in this one.
