Chelsea’s summer window is in full swing now.
They’ve sold well, and have signed Morgan Rogers and Maxence Lacroix. They’re not done yet, however. Rumours are steadily building around Kerim Alajbegovic. Fabrizio Romano’s report on the interest last night claimed that the Blues are “in contact” with Bayer Leverkusen over signing the teenager, joining “Italian clubs” in the race to sign the Bosnia international.
The player “has yet to decide his future,” but it sounds like things will be resolved soon.
Chelsea reportedly agree massive fee for young talent
Today Nicolo Schira is sticking his neck out and saying that the 18 year old has “agreed personal terms” for a contract until 2033. He also names the total price, bonuses included, at €52m.
