Monaco prepares transfer from Chelsea! The French are targeting the Londoners' star midfielder

The Belgian holding midfielder could be on the move as early as this summer.

Details: Monaco is looking to bolster its midfield and is preparing an official bid for Chelsea's Romeo Lavia. According to Simon Phillips, the French club is hoping to finalize the transfer this summer.

Reports suggest that Monaco is ready to offer £25 million for the 22-year-old Belgian. The proposal is expected to be submitted to Chelsea soon, as the Monegasques have stepped up their efforts to secure the deal.

At this stage, it's unclear whether the London club is willing to part ways with the midfielder, but Monaco's interest is becoming increasingly concrete.

If negotiations prove successful, Lavia could continue his career in Ligue 1 before the summer transfer window closes.

Lavia's current contract with Chelsea runs until 2030, and his market value is estimated at €22 million by Transfermarkt.
