Chelsea Nears €40m Jorrel Hato Transfer from Ajax

News summary

Chelsea is close to signing Dutch defender Jorrel Hato from Ajax, with the player's agent confirming ongoing talks between the clubs. Hato, a versatile defender capable of playing both center-back and left-back, has been left out of Ajax's squad for a pre-season friendly against Celtic, signaling Ajax's acceptance of his potential departure. Chelsea has reportedly agreed personal terms with Hato, and the clubs are discussing a transfer fee around €40 million to £45 million. This move aims to strengthen Chelsea's defense and provide competition for left-back Marc Cucurella. In addition to Hato, Chelsea is pursuing Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, with talks described as positive and Leipzig reportedly open to selling for about €65 million. Chelsea's manager Enzo Maresca is expected to have both new signings in training ahead of the Premier League season preparations.
