Chelsea does not stop at 'mercato' issues. After investing around € 100 million in the hires of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, the English club now sets its sights on Declan Rice, a 21-year-old footballer who plays for West Ham United.
According to The Sun, the 'blues' are confident of being able to close the incorporation of the British midfielder for a figure of around 50 million euros. Rice started her footballing career at the Chelsea youth academy and would now be happy to return to the club where she was formed.
Frank Lampard, 'blue' coach, likes Rice's leadership and handling of the ball, as well as being a footballer who can also mold himself to the axis of defense, as seen in the West Ham game against Wolverhampton.
The possibility that the ‘hammers’ lose the category would cause an almost certain departure from the player, on the agenda of other large clubs.
Before the summer market has opened, Chelsea have already made two important signings, such as those of Ziyech and Werner. For the African, the 'blues' paid Ajax 40 million euros, while for the German they had to disburse about 55 'kilos' to RB Leipzig.
