Barcelona, Manchester City and Bayern to battle for Chelsea prospect
London's Chelsea may be on the verge of losing one of its most promising academy products.
Details: According to Ekrem Konur, Barcelona, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich have already made direct contact with the entourage of 19-year-old defender Josh Acheampong.
The surge in interest from Europe's elite comes as a result of the player's growing frustration. Acheampong is extremely dissatisfied with his lack of consistent first-team minutes for the "Blues" and is seriously considering a move away as early as this summer.
Despite being under contract at Chelsea until 2029, the defender’s camp has made it clear: Josh has no intention of warming the bench when Champions League giants are putting offers on the table.
This season, the Englishman has made 25 appearances across all competitions, scoring 2 goals. Transfermarkt currently values the player at €25 million.
Reminder: Barcelona could clinch the title in El Clasico.
