The Blues have been on the verge of breaching PSR in the past. Hence, they need to be careful while spending. Firstly, they will need to sell their current players before signing new ones. But, they will still hesitate to spend as high as €100 million on someone like Ekitike.
Enzo Maresca has asked for more experience in the squad. If the Blues are ready to spend €100 million on Ekitike, they should really reconsider. Earlier, they have signed many young players and it has not always worked out. Instead they can bring in someone like Gyokeres or Osimhen who can lead the frontline.
