Chelsea explores alternatives: Santiago Gimenez emerges as a striking option
Chelsea FC is now believed to be focusing on Santiago Gimenez as a potential replacement for Victor Osimhen in a strategic move to their attacking team.
The Blues are desperate to sign the Napoli striker, but negotiations may be delayed by Napoli’s unwillingness to deal with their prized asset for a low fee.
The Feyenoord sensation Gimenez has emerged as a top target for Chelsea’s recruitment team. The 20-year-old striker has been on a goal-scoring tear, scoring 15 goals in as many games across multiple competitions.
Gimenez outstanding performances have drawn interest not only from Chelsea, but also from European giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as Serie A powerhouses Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter.
Despite Gimenez’s football competencies, Chelsea will face a difficult battle in winning his signature, considering that his contract with Feyenoord runs until 2027.
In order to convince Feyenoord to part ways with their prolific goal scorer, the London club may have looked deep into their funds, maybe topping the £35 million level.
Chelsea’s pursuit of shining talents matches effortlessly with their new ideology under Todd Boehly’s ownership as the club navigates the difficulties of the transfer market.
Along with Gimenez, the Blues are keeping an eye on Assane Diao, a dynamic winger from Real Betis, as they look to add to their lineup over the next seasons.
