The likes of Chelsea are on alert amid reports that AC Milan are open to cashing in on Rafael Leao when the summer transfer window opens up in just a few months time.
There has been more players leave the club than come in, and with only a few days left of the transfer window left, the Blues are still working hard on getting some of the fringe players in the side out of the club before the deadline closes on Monday.
But there is already talk about the type of players that CHELSEA could look to sign at the end of the season, and there has already been some names linked with the club that could get many Blues fans excited.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea are looking to strengthen on the left wing and the Portugal international has been cited as a potential option with a price tag of around £80million.
Leao is one of the most highly-prized wingers in European football, with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal just three clubs that have been keeping a close eye on him over the past few seasons.
The reports claim that Milan are looking to cash in on Leao at the end of the season if order to raise some funds and freshen up the side in order to start really competing for that Seria A title and Champions League crown, and £80 million would go along way into freshening up the side.

CHELSEA have been linked with Rafael Leao for the last few seasons, they have even made some moves, but they have been unable to convince Milan into letting one of the clubs star players leave the side, they have been unable to get a deal done.
But then again, i would love to see the player make the move to Stamford Bridge that is for sure, he is pure quality
EXCITING ROSENIOR MESSAGE
Blues boss Liam Rosenior has opened up and told Chelsea fans the club could be set for a very busy last few days of the transfer window, hinting that a few players could head to the club.
There are alot of rumours about players could buy before the deadline on Monday, and now Rosenior has come out and sent a very exciting transfer message to the Blues fans, hinting that there could be a few faces showing up at the club in the coming days.
“The priority is to make the squad as strong as possible for the rest of the season,” Rosenior said ahead of ***CHELSEA***’s latest London derby against West Ham when asked about transfers.
“That’s always the priority. I’ve been a manager long enough to know things can change very, very quickly in the January market in terms of who’s out there, and the situation with our players.”
Asked whether centre-back was a key priority to strengthen before the deadline, he replied: “It is a possibility. Every area. My job and the guys’ job is to try to strengthen every area.
“If we see something, I know the guys are willing to do it. I don’t want to bring in players for the sake of it. There is a possibility it could be busy. There is a possibility it could be quiet.”
IcChelseanews Says…
We are very happy with the squad, but there are a number of areas that does need improving a little bit and if we can get some good signings over the next few days, it will give us a massive boost between now and the end of the season.
It is certainly going to be an interesting watch between now and deadline day
COLE PALMER BOOST
There has been some big news for Chelsea, as reports this weekend have claimed that Manchester United have decided that they will not make a move to try and sign attacker Cole Palmer, a player they have been linked with in recent days.

The 23-year-old scored 27 times in his first season at Stamford Bridge, hitting 18 during the 2024-25 campaign but has struggled to reach those heights this term.
While a chronic groin problem and a freak toe injury limited him to just three appearances before December, Chelsea are still carefully managing Palmer’s workload having also picked up a minor thigh problem following Liam Rosenior’s appointment.
But over the past few weeks, there has been alot of speculation in the media that CHELSEA will be open to letting Palmer leave the club, and although he has a massive contract, United have been tipped to make an offer and try to get a transfer deal done.
However – reports have claimed United bosses know the England and Chelsea star is out of the club’s price range while an attacking midfielder is not on the club’s list of priorities when it comes to strengthening the team.
United have invested almost £135m in signing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo, and believe this is an area of the team which doesn’t need attention.
But amid all the speculation and rumours, pundit Paul Merson claimed an offer of £120million would see his club happily cash in: ‘Liam Rosenior is looking after Cole Palmer quite well. But when Palmer scored the penalty against Brentford last week, I thought his celebration was a bit strange,’ Merson wrote for Sportskeeda.
‘Call me a cynic, but I noticed how he didn’t celebrate with his teammates or the fans. That was strange for me.
CHELSEA must keep Palmer happy. But I’ve always said it, if some other club offers £120 million for Palmer, Chelsea will sell him. That is what Chelsea always do in the transfer market.’
