Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed Chelsea could sign Malo Gusto of Lyon, Enzo Fernandez of Benfica and Moises Caicedo of Brighton before the January transfer window closes.
Chelsea have already spent €180 million on new signings this January but more arrivals are expected before the transfer window closes.
“They’ve had an opening bid for Malo Gusto, the right-back of Olympique Lyon, it’s true – an opening verbal bid was turned down,” Romano said on his YouTube channel.
“Lyon… proposed to Chelsea to keep the player on loan for six months and then let him go to Chelsea in the summer, but Chelsea want the player now.
“Chelsea have an agreement with the player. Gusto said ‘yes’ to a potential Chelsea move, but it depends on the clubs.”
“From what I’m told, Chelsea – one week ago – in a secret way, tried to approach again Benfica for Enzo Fernandez,” Romano continued.
“Benfica were in the same position at beginning of the transfer market. They said €120 million or nothing. This is Rui Costa, and the Benfica president’s position.”
Romano concluded by saying the Chelsea were “Exploring the possibility” of signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
Chelsea have already had a bid for Caicedo rejected by Brighton.
