Breaking news over night has suggested that Chelsea have now reached an agreement for a fee to sign a new striker this summer.
It’s been clear that Chelsea have been searching for a new striker to bring in already, and they failed in an attempt to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, and apparent interest in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen also faded out.
Sources: Chelsea moving on Michael Olise deal – Things are happening!
But now they have turned their attentions to Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran, according to a host of reports from yesterday.
One local source has also now claimed that a deal has been agreed between Villa and Chelsea on a fee that will be close to €50m.
Guillermo Arango of Win Sports TV posted on his X account late last night: “Agreement between Chelsea and Aston Villa for the signing of Jhon Jáder Durán. It would arrive for a figure close to 50M € . They are negotiating the terms with the player to sign the contract.”
Absolute madness from Chelsea
There are no doubts that Duran has a lot of potential and could become a very good striker. But paying what is the equivalent of £42m for a completely unproven and raw player is nothing short of absolute madness from Chelsea’s decision makers. But it also doesn’t surprise me at all judging off how they have moved so far since the new ownership group came in.
Duran has only started three games since joining Aston Villa in January 2023 and is clearly not fancied by Unai Emery. So why is he fancied so much by Chelsea who are apparently willing to pay so much to sign him?
Obviously we need to wait and see if this actually happens, but there is now a lot of noise on this story and it genuinely looks like Chelsea are trying to sign Duran.
Maresca will only coach Chelsea for if he buys players like Duran John and use Sanchez as his no 1 keeper.I Don an btn Duran and Jackson. Even Jackson is better than him
Chelsea must signed quality center back,,who can be compared to,Thiago,Rudgur, Cahill,Terry orDavid luize or Ake
You are right
I think the owners are getting CRAZZZZY!
This people aren’t a footballing team owners. It’s obvious they see this club as NBA team
Thy start panicking, thy must stop chasing other teams on buying players og
Chelsea are in trouble again while go for a proven striker like Ivan Toney
Let it be Alvarez, Chelsea should sign
I think it’s just a rumor, if chelsea serious then they should forget about Duran!
Chelsea owner gat the money to spend that why
I think the owners are trying to give us heartbreak, to be come Chelsea fans. With better strikers out there why Duran, please you should help us to enjoy Chelsea football oooooo.
Yes!!! The owners are really crazzzzzy
Chiesa is much better an options
For me.chelsea are expected to sign super eagles striker
yes they owner is so stupid
If that mumu don’t know what to do let him go back to business and leave football
Yes Chelsea owner is crazy
Maresca is so stupid for using sanchez as a no.1 goalkeeper
Correct
These owners should leave this club. They know nothing about football. Instead of going forward, they keeping us back.
Instead of chelsea to go for a better striker, they talking about Jhon Duran who hasn’t been use since is sign by aston villa, if he is good why villa shouldn’t have use him. If you have money does it me means you should be waisting it for counterfeit player… Foolish player
I would like alvarez or toner
If things works the way i am seeing chelsea will not win any trophy next season again . Maresca should do well we need a good striker not “duran” olise is better despite being and injury player
Maresca” we the fans are pleading pls don,t sign ‘duran’ better strikers are there like. Olise,alvarez,osimhen and many more instead of ‘DURAN’ i prefer ‘LUKAKU’ DON,T give us the fans blood pressure please i want see chelsea win trophies next season not only one but more i wish u goodluck
You people are Chelsea owner s crazy, they should get shape strikers not average ones….
Enzo Maresca going forward to sing striker
They have no eyes to see. They buy players blindly
Chelsea must be serious about buying quality football players to make supporters happy
Chelsea board should calm down to look into Alvarez than any
Yes Chelsea owner is crazy
Please please try to sign good striker
Sanchez is too much weakness
Pliz you guys buy quality players this club is too big you are diminishing it
Useless club owners
They sould sell Chelsea Fc to a serious boss like Roman
Sanchez in Goal and this Troublemaker Duran Will cause Trouble in the Team and Will cost Enzo his Job When it will be #Winstanleyout and #stewartout whose fault it will be Forget him Sign Victor Oshimen This is the player who take us to another level Because he will Set the Premier league’s alight with Jackson also with Noni and Sterling we have a much better forward line for him to thrive Arsenal play a different way as do ManUtd Then all you need to do to get top 4 is retain Chalobah and Give Gallagher a new contract Don’t waste money on injury prone players and if you are willing to pay £50m for a Striker Who has only scored what Five goals that is madness I am sure you could offer a higher figure than than That what about £70m and Lukuku then everyone will be Happy I am sure If You sign Duran the fans will turn on him if he starts acting like Lukuku did and he will be out the Door after January Please Three things Todd and Egbhali Oshimen, keep Chalobah and give Gallagher a new contract It is all we need
