Chelsea is targeting a new striker during the winter transfer window, and the London club reportedly has specific plans in place.
Details: According to TEAMtalk, Enzo Maresca's team remains interested in signing Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel. However, the deal could be completed as a straight purchase rather than as part of a swap involving Christopher Nkunku, as previously rumoured.
Even if the clubs were to agree on a swap, the deals would reportedly be handled as two separate transactions. The financial terms of the agreement remain unclear, but the amount Chelsea spends on Tel may impact their ability to pursue RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško, who is also on Maresca’s radar.
Reminder: Previous reports suggested that Tel is unwilling to leave Bayern, even on loan, as he is focused on competing for a spot in the starting lineup in Munich.
