Chelsea nears £40m deals for Real Madrid, Dortmund forwards

Chelsea is actively strengthening its squad for the upcoming Premier League season, having already spent over £100 million on new signings like Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. The club is close to securing Jamie Bynoe-Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, with a deal reportedly worth £48 million plus add-ons, highlighting Chelsea's strategy of investing in young, high-potential talent with long-term contracts. A significant focus is also on Real Madrid's young forward Gonzalo Garcia, who has impressed at the FIFA Club World Cup and attracted Chelsea's interest, with the club reportedly preparing a €40 million bid to bolster their attacking options. Garcia, who has limited La Liga experience but has thrived under coach Xabi Alonso, is seen as a potential key player for Chelsea’s future, particularly as they aim to replace departing striker Nicolas Jackson. Meanwhile, Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling is likely to leave, with Fulham showing interest, which would help reduce Chelsea’s wage bill. These moves reflect Chelsea’s broader ambition to build a dynamic and youthful squad capable of competing at the highest level in Europe.
