Chelsea want to sign £180,000-a-week Manchester City defender
According to 90min, Graham Potter’s Chelsea are interested in signing Manchester City’s Joao Cancelo during the summer transfer window.
According to a report published yesterday, Chelsea is considering a new left-back.
The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League champions are keeping an eye on Cancelo, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich from City and can also play right back.
The Portugal international fullback joined Bayern on loan from Manchester City during the January transfer window.
According to 90min, Bayern has the option to make the loan permanent for €70 million (£62 million).
The former European champions are unable to pay that amount, but the reigning Premier League champions are willing to negotiate a deal for €60 million (£53 million).
The report adds that the fullback, who earns £180,000 per week (SalarySport), prefers to remain at Bayern beyond the end of the season.
We believe it is unlikely that Chelsea will be able to sign Joao Cancelo from Manchester City during the summer transfer window.
First, the 28-year-old reportedly desires to remain with Bayern.
Then, we must consider whether City will actually sell the versatile Cancelo, who can also play wingback, to Chelsea.
True, the Blues acquired Raheem Sterling from City in the summer of 2022. However, would the Citizens improve the Blues by selling them another player?
