Chelsea’s season may be on hold as the world battles the coronavirus crisis, but that has not stopped reports claiming they are looking ahead and planning their summer transfer business.
It remains to be seen when the transfer window will open this summer, as leagues and associations battle to conclude their current campaigns.
But managers, and their recruitment staff, are believed to be keeping busy in isolation by planning deals well in advance, if the latest reports are to be believed.
With that in mind, here are the latest transfer rumours from Stamford Bridge.
PSG eye Bakayoko
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard could be set for £40million transfer boost.
That is because Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly considering a surprise bid for Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The Express is also reporting Frank Lampard is keen to bring in a new left-back and more options in the attacking positions this summer.
Chiesa battle
Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly among the suitors for Fiorentina star Federico Chiesa.
That is according to Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport, as translated by Yahoo, who claim both clubs are keeping an eye on the forward.
However, Chiesa is likely to cost around £60million to sign from Fiorentina this summer.
Havertz interest
Chelsea were interested in the services of Philippe Coutinho but have now switched their attention towards Bayer Leverkusen ace Kai Havertz.
The Athletic reports that the Stamford Bridge club are eyeing the teenage sensation ahead of a possible summer move.
The 20-year-old has attracted a wealth of interest heading into the next transfer window, with Liverpool and Bayern Munich also attributed with an interest in his services.
