🚨14-G/A in 18 games: Chelsea ready to smash transfer record for "astonishing" player
Chelsea planning mega move....
Chelsea are interested in signing the Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez.
The 25-year-old has established himself as one of the best attacking players in the world, and his performances have attracted the attention of the London club, as per Flashscore. Alvarez has been hailed as an “astonishing” player.
Alvarez is on the radar of Liverpool as well.
Chelsea ready to spend big on Julian Alvarez
Chelsea are prepared to spend a club record fee of around €150 million in order to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal in the coming weeks.
Alvarez could be tempted to move back to the Premier. He has played in England with Manchester City, and he knows the league well. He could settle in quickly and make an instant impact. Meanwhile, Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them could be attractive.
The striker has been in phenomenal form since joining the Spanish club. He has 14 goal contributions in 18 matches across all competitions this season. He was outstanding last season as well, scoring 29 goals in all competitions.
The player is very much at the peak of his career, and he could hit the ground running in England. He could transform Chelsea in the final third.
Chelsea are loaded in the striking department
The Blues have recently signed Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to invest in another striker. Ideally, they should look to improve the defensive unit and add more quality on the flanks. However, Alvarez is a world-class player and signing a superstar like him could prove to be a game-changer.
Chelsea are looking to get back to the top of English football and the elite players. The 2022 World Cup winner could make a huge difference for them in the attack.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea can beat the competition from the other clubs and get the deal done. Atletico Madrid will not want to lose a key player like him, but the €150 million offer could be hard to turn down, if it is presented.
