Chelsea set to replace Kante, Loftus-Cheek, Zakaria and Kovacic with £180million duo Star player
The acquisition of a midfielder is a top priority for the Blues since N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Denis Zakaria, and Mateo Kovacic are all anticipated departures from Chelsea this summer.
Declan Rice of West Ham and Moises Caicedo of Brighton are two midfielders that Chelsea reportedly wants to sign this summer.
Chelsea is currently seeking to sign Rice and Caicedo after already losing out to PSG for Manuel Ugarte.
Rice is worth more than £100 million, and West Ham is willing to stick to that estimate. Although the Hammers have the opportunity to do so, his current deal is only good until 2024.
Caicedo’s demands from Brighton are not anticipated to be as high; instead, a sum of £80 million is likely to be sufficient to recruit the Ecuadorian international.
