Anticipated: Chelsea’s New Signing Set to be Officially Confirmed Soon – Blues Triumph Over European Giants
Reports indicate that an imminent signing for Chelsea is on the horizon, as they have emerged victorious in securing the services of Deivid Washington, despite strong interest from multiple prominent European clubs.
Earlier this week, we discussed reports from Brazil suggesting that AS Monaco had matched Chelsea’s offer for Deivid Washington. Despite this, the talented Santos star appears inclined to opt for the Blues, even in the face of Monaco’s enticing sporting project.
Subsequent reports from UOL have reinforced this narrative, stating that the 18-year-old prospect has made his decision to join Chelsea. It is expected that he will soon finalize a six-year contract with the west London club.
O Dia, a reputable source, corroborates these reports and delves into the background of Chelsea’s victory in the battle for the player’s signature.
According to O Dia, Mauricio Pochettino’s team submitted an offer of €15 million, accompanied by €5 million in potential bonuses, which has been accepted by Santos. Notably, Santos rejected Monaco’s proposal due to the young player’s clear preference for a move to Chelsea.
Washington, who rose through the ranks of Santos’ academy, earned a spot in the senior team earlier this year. Despite his youth, he has managed to net two goals from 16 appearances with the senior squad.
The potential and promise exhibited by this emerging talent garnered attention from elite clubs such as Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund. Chelsea’s success in outshining these competitors showcases their prowess in the transfer market.
With all parties involved having reached an agreement, O Dia anticipates that the official announcement of Washington’s transfer to Chelsea will take place “in the coming days.”
