Having had a quiet January the Blues are set for a busy summer, with reinforcements required in a number of key positions in the squad.
Chelsea are thought to be in the market for a centre back, whilst it’s believed they want to add another midfielder and attacker to their ranks.
Chelsea one of the main clubs interested in Morgan Rogers
With Xabi Alonso now in place as manager, it’s believed he’ll have a say in transfers, whilst co-owner Behdad Eghbali has said the youth focused recruitment model will be tweaked.
Chelsea will reportedly target players with proven Premier League experience, and they’ve been linked with Murillo and Jan Paul van Hecke.
The Blues have also been linked with Rogers, as they look for an attacker who can play both from the left and centrally, and Jacobs has provided an update.
“Chelsea and Manchester United are the two main clubs to watch for Morgan Rogers at the moment, and there’s a chance he could communicate where he wants to go before the World Cup,” he told The United Stand.
“A figure of £80m, maybe more if there’s a bidding war, is expected to be enough to sanction a sale.
“PSG may also be one to watch. Arsenal are a bit put off by the price tag.”
Rogers has scored 14 goals, including one in the Europa League final, and registered 12 assists in 55 appearances in all competitions.
