As expected, rumours are bubbling up now and although we don’t expect Chelsea to do much business at all in the winter window, they will certainly be doing work on potential new players in terms of putting scouting reports together and tracking players.

Chelsea in for Castro

Chelsea have reportedly taken a look at Bologna striker Santiago Castro, sending scouts to assess the 21-year-old’s performances in Serie A ahead of a potential January move.

Chelsea scouts were present at Bologna’s recent Serie A fixtures to monitor Castro, according to Il Resto del Carlino via Tuttomercatoweb. The 21-year-old joined the Italian side from Velez Sarsfield for €13.2 million in January 2024.

No formal approach has been made, but Chelsea are expected to continue monitoring the Argentine closely in the weeks leading up to the January transfer window.
