Chelsea’s shopping spree in January could easily turn into an all-out rush to fill holes and put out a long-burning fire.The fact that those in charge at Stamford Bridge have no idea what to do is probably best illustrated by the purchase of Benoît Badiashile, who, as good as he is potentially, does not come close to solving Chelsea’s biggest problem – goal-scoring and execution.Bringing in another stopper for almost 40,000,000 euros will strengthen such a deep rotation, but the real thing, when it comes to spending US dollars, is yet to be expected. At Chelsea these days, they seem as if they are not sure what they are doing. As the club wrestles with Benfica over the size of compensation for Enzo Fernandez, there has been a breakdown in talks with N’Golo Kante reportedly willing to lower his wage demands to stay, while Todd Boehly’s confidants have been sent out to bring in what an attractive name.##NAJAVA_MECA_6929187##Ever since Arsenal’s interest in new Ukrainian prodigy Mykhailo Mudryk began to be speculated, Chelsea have also had their eye on the up-and-coming star. Shakhtar have already rejected two offers from Arsenal, at 60,000,000 and 70,000,000 euros, while Chelsea have not yet made any concrete move. More precisely, they did not offer anything, because Mudryk’s agents are asking whether he wants to go to Stamford Bridge or not. If he were to agree, the Blues are ready to offer more than the Gunners and get the job done. While the answer is yet to come, the Ukrainian has already let everyone know where he sees himself, as he posted a photo of himself watching Arsenal on Boxing Day on social media. Although it is also now mentioned that he is now in a dilemma and that a move to Chelsea also seems interesting to him.Chelsea need time to find their stride and Potter believes he will get that from the ownersShakhtar have already held initial talks with Chelsea over Mudryk, as sporting director Dario Srna and general manager Serhiy Palkin were Boehly’s guests in the VIP box at the match against Manchester City.While waiting for Mudryk’s answer, Chelsea are simultaneously checking out Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach stars – Dani Olmo and Marcus Thuram respectively. The club now traditionally has good business relations with Leipzig, from which they will bring Christopher Nkunku in the summer for 60,000,000 euros, but the Frenchman could only be part of the package that will also include the Spanish representative.🚨 Chelsea seek reassurances that Mykhailo Mudryk wants to join them before going toe-to-toe with Arsenal, but the Blues have also approached Red Bull Leipzig’s Dani Olmo and France forward Marcus Thuram.#CFC(@MailSport) pic.twitter.com/RbGWPwL6Vg— Chelsea Dodgers 🧢 (@TheBlueDodger) January 7, 2023 Leipzig have so far successfully repelled all offers from rich European clubs for Olmo, although it has long been known that he has an exit clause of 75,000,000 euros in his contract. Barcelona and Manchester United were interested in him, but in the end nothing happened.As for Thuram, his contract with Gladbach expires in the summer, so he is already free to negotiate with clubs for a transfer in July without compensation. Chelsea would like to take advantage of that and strengthen the offensive line, which has been cracked a lot in recent months. Especially now, since Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic and recently Raheem Sterling are out due to injuries.Chelsea brought in Molde striker David Datro Fofana and youngster Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama this winter along with Badiashile.
