Following Chelsea’s two defeats against Manchester City, it appears that Todd Boehly has stepped up his already prolific game in the transfer market.
A move for João Félix seems almost done, and the American owner seems in no mood to stop spending this month to turn the situation around at Stamford Bridge.
How long Graham Potter has left at the helm despite only taking over a few games into the season remains to be seen, but he will be given new tools by his Chelsea bosses to work with.
Beyond the Portuguese star, the Blues could also move for a right-back, with Denzel Dumfries continuously linked with a move to the London side.
Gazzetta dello Sport add a bit to this on Tuesday, explaining Inter’s side of things, and explain that while the Serie A club would prefer to see their defender leave in June, they could let him go this month if the right bid is made.
They explain that the price of €60m set for the summer ‘also applies in January’, and ‘if the wealthy American Chelsea, still on the hunt for fullbacks’ or Manchester United decided to bring forward their summer attempt, then Inter ‘would not get in the way’.
In fact, they would go as far as to ‘facilitate the exit door’ if the aforementioned figure landed on their table in the coming weeks.
Something for Chelsea to think about if Boehly wants to keep his chequebook open.
