Chelsea remains vigilant in the transfer market despite a recent influx of wingers, including Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk, and is reportedly interested in Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior, whose contract talks are expected to commence soon. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is keen to acquire Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez, offering either £84 million or a potential swap with Aurelien Tchouameni, who has struggled to find form lately. Tchouameni's place in the squad is uncertain, with Madrid considering other midfield options like Manchester City's Rodri. Chelsea, having invested over £1 billion since Todd Boehly's tenure began, may evaluate whether to offload Fernandez, who has not lived up to expectations this season. The Blues are also monitoring the situation of their young midfielder Romeo Lavia amid interest from Barcelona. The upcoming January transfer window could see significant movements as both clubs seek to bolster their squads.
