Chelsea's transfer window is heating up as Aston Villa's agreement to sign Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund for £22m provides the German club with funds to pursue Renato Veiga or Carney Chukwuemeka. While Chelsea values Veiga at £20m+ and prefers a permanent sale, the player is advocating for a loan move to secure regular playtime at center-back. Meanwhile, interest from Bayern Munich in Christopher Nkunku could drive Chelsea to reinvest in targets like Mathys Tel.
- Dortmund’s Funds: The £22m Malen deal boosts Dortmund’s ability to negotiate for Veiga or Chukwuemeka, potentially accelerating Chelsea’s transfer activity.
- Veiga’s Stance: The 21-year-old prefers a temporary loan move to gain experience as a center-back, though Chelsea prioritises a permanent transfer.
- Chukwuemeka's Future: Chelsea may consider a loan for Chukwuemeka, aligning with Dortmund's interest in securing midfield reinforcements.
- Nkunku’s Potential Departure: Bayern Munich's interest in Nkunku may prompt Chelsea to target Bayern's Mathys Tel, ensuring squad depth remains intact.
