DBasia.news – Chelsea are reportedly still active in the 2020 summer transfer market. After Edouard Mendy is getting closer, the Blues are now preparing to bring in Declan Rice from West Ham United.
After having received a ban on registering new players, Chelsea took revenge in the 2020 summer transfer market. The Blues have become one of the most active teams.
Chelsea have secured Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Malang Sarr, and Thiago Silva. The new players are believed to be able to make Chelsea compete at the top.
However, these players weren’t enough. Chelsea are reportedly trying to sign Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. The goalkeeper is prepared to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga, who made many blunders last season.
Fabrizio Romano reported, in the last few hours, Chelsea made a massive move to seduce Rennes. Chelsea are confident the deal can be concluded soon. Reportedly, Mendy’s price is around 20 million euros.
Furthermore, it is reported that Edouard Mendy has pocketed a personal agreement with Chelsea. The goalkeeper did not want to miss the opportunity to defend Chelsea.
Furthermore, Chelsea will try to bring in Declan Rice. Although the path taken will not be easy, Chelsea will try because Rice is Frank Lampard’s dream player.
Nicolo Schira reports, Chelsea is willing to launch the first offer worth 45 million euros. If they have received the green light from The Hammers, Chelsea will offer a five-year contract for Rice.
