Can Chelsea stop star from leaving? Blues target wants big move – Potential £66M Blues signing could be great

Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news and gossip from icchelseanews that we think you guys could have missed today….

Aurelien Tchouameni, the French midfield sensation, has been a key player for Real Madrid since his arrival in 2022 but could be a great signing for Chelsea if he ever leaves Madrid

Reporter Iomie Stanley said: ‘If CHELSEA were to secure Tchouameni’s signature, the 24-year-old could have a transformative impact at Stamford Bridge, providing the Blues with a dynamic, all-round midfielder capable of anchoring their midfield for years to come.

‘Tchouameni’s primary strength lies in his defensive capabilities. He is known for his exceptional ball-winning ability, regularly breaking up opposition attacks and making crucial interceptions. Chelsea have often struggled to find the right balance in midfield, with N’Golo Kanté’s departure leaving a significant gap in the team. While Enzo Fernández has been a revelation since joining, he operates more as a deep-lying playmaker, and Chelsea could benefit from a more physically dominant presence alongside him.

‘Tchouameni, standing at 6’2″, offers not only physicality but also intelligence in his reading of the game. His presence could add much-needed defensive solidity, allowing Chelsea to shield their backline more effectively. This would free up players like Fernández and Cole Palmer to focus on their attacking roles, knowing that the Frenchman is providing protection in front of the defense.

‘Tchouameni’s potential arrival at Chelsea could significantly strengthen the Blues’ midfield, providing defensive stability, tactical versatility, and leadership. His skill set would allow CHELSEA to dominate the middle of the park, making him an ideal signing for Pochettino as the club looks to re-establish itself among Europe’s elite.’

DURAN EYES BIG MOVE – 

The uncle of Aston Villa star and CHELSEA target Jhon Duran has opened up and claimed that he is hoping that the striker could earn himself a big time move in the future if he continues to score the goals he has been this season.

Duran, who was linked with Chelsea and West Ham over the summer, has scored five goals in eight games so far this season, helping Villa continue their impressive form after they finished fourth last term.

But Oswaldo Duran, has made a bold claim regarding his nephew’s future.  Speaking to Gol Caracol, he claimed that if Duran continues to develop and improve his game, he could soon be playing for Real Madrid.

He said: “We are talking about a player who, if he has his feet on the ground, if he lets himself be guided by his advisors, will be very great because he is very young and is not yet mature as an athlete.”

“If his behaviour was not the best, it is normal; you have to let him see it and he will correct it. Having character is different from seeing or believing that others are less than me.”

“Not speaking to people is not character for me, but because I am related to him and have known him since I was a child we believe that we have already achieved everything and since he is young, he may suddenly think that, but I have enormous faith that he is going to correct his behaviour.”

“Jhon Jader is still a 20-year-old boy and there is a lot of room for improvement. When he plays as a starter, he will be among the top scorers in any league he plays in. God gave him virtues that he has to take advantage of and polish, such as his aerial game or getting behind the backs of defenders.

“Let’s hope that the next sale is to Real Madrid.”

WILL PALMER LEAVE?

Cole Palmer, the highly talented 22-year-old attacking midfielder, has rapidly made a name for himself at CHELSEA since his move from Manchester City in 2023, but the question is whether the Blues can stop him from leaving and joining a massive club like Real Madrid in the coming seasons.

Reporter Iomie Stanley said: ‘Palmer’s rise in the footballing world has been nothing short of meteoric. At Manchester City, he was highly rated but limited in terms of first-team opportunities, given the wealth of talent at Pep Guardiola’s disposal.

‘His move to Chelsea represented a chance for more consistent minutes, and he has seized the opportunity.

‘Palmer has shown versatility in playing across various attacking roles. His creativity, vision, and ability to score key goals have endeared him to CHELSEA fans and made him an indispensable part of the team’s future. With a long-term contract and an integral role in the squad, Chelsea have demonstrated their commitment to Palmer’s development, suggesting that they would be keen to retain him for years to come.

‘The Lure of Real Madrid – the Spaniards is a club that few can easily turn down. The Spanish giants have a history of securing marquee signings, especially from the Premier League. From David Beckham to Cristiano Ronaldo and Eden Hazard, Real Madrid has often been the pinnacle of a player’s career trajectory.

‘The allure of playing at the Santiago Bernabéu, competing for La Liga titles, and chasing Champions League glory under the bright lights of one of the most iconic clubs in the world can be difficult to resist.

‘For a player like Cole Palmer, whose stock continues to rise, a future move to Real Madrid could represent the opportunity to showcase his talents on an even grander stage. Real Madrid’s reputation for nurturing world-class attacking talent, coupled with their aggressive transfer strategy, could be tempting. If Madrid signals serious interest, Chelsea may find themselves in a difficult position.

‘But With Palmer tied down to a long-term deal, Chelsea would have the upper hand in negotiations should Madrid make an approach.’
