Chelsea is actively working on securing a new striker, focusing on Samu Omorodion and Jhon Durán, but will ultimately sign only one of the two.
Omorodion Negotiations
Chelsea’s initial €40 million offer for Samu Omorodion was turned down by Atlético Madrid. The club is now exploring further opportunities to negotiate for the 19-year-old forward, who has shown promise with his physical presence and goal-scoring ability.
Durán Deal Contingent on Player Exchange
For Jhon Durán, Chelsea is considering a deal that would involve including players in the transfer package to Aston Villa. The 20-year-old Colombian striker has been on Chelsea’s radar, with negotiations advancing over the past week.
