Chelsea have revealed their financial demands to let Noni Madueke go this summer window amid speculation that the winger could be making the move across London to join ARSENAL in a shock transfer move.
The 23-year-old recorded 16 goal contributions in 41 games in all competitions last season, but has been linked with a surprise £50million move to Arsenal.
Chelsea have been doing alot of transfer business over the past few weeks and after bringing in Joao Pedro from Brighton and Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, the Blues are looking to free up some space in that attack, if you believe all the reports in the media.
But despite the reports, the Gunners haven’t spoken with the Blues and haven’t offered a contract to Madueke, and the reality is that Arsenal have not sent any proposal to Chelsea for Madueke as of this week.
But according to The Telegraph, the Blues are expecting offers of more than £50million for Madueke and they will not be letting the attacker go for anything less than that valuation after the season he has just had, despite both clubs reportedly holding talks.
There are also reports suggesting the West Londoners are keeping tabs on the Gunners’ wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri.
But amid all the speculation and rumours, former Chelsea star Frank Sinclair believes his former club would be foolish to part ways with Madueke at this point in his career: ‘I think that would be going against the grain of what Chelsea are trying to achieve,’ Sinclair told Metro via Kasinoseta.com.
‘They have been recruiting a young squad and letting them develop for four or five years and Madueke should be a big part of those plans, given how he has grown.
‘He’s got that recognition from England now as well, and that’s brought his confidence on even more.
‘Pedro Neto is obviously also on that right side, but given the competitions Chelsea are in next season, you need all these players if you are going to compete and bridge that gap at the top of the table.
‘I would be surprised if they let him go. I know ARSENAL like to come in for the odd Chelsea player every now and again, but for me, that would just be crazy to let Madueke go, especially to a rival.’
