Chelsea are eager to strengthen their midfield during the summer transfer window. Several key players, including Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kante, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, have left Stamford Bridge for new challenges.
Football.london reports that Chelsea made a bid for Moises Caicedo, but Brighton rejected it despite the player's desire to leave. Brighton values Caicedo at around £100 million, considering the transfers of Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea in January and Declan Rice to Arsenal for £105 million.
As negotiations continue with Brighton, Chelsea is also exploring other potential options. The Times mentions interest in Leeds United's Tyler Adams and Ajax's Edson Alvarez. Alvarez had previously been linked to Chelsea but was unable to secure a move last summer.
Alvarez expressed disappointment about the failed move but remains hopeful that a big club will come for him in the future. Adams is likely to leave Leeds after their relegation, and Pochettino sees him as a valuable addition to Chelsea's midfield.
Chelsea is also interested in Southampton's Romeo Lavia, but Liverpool is close to reaching an agreement for the Belgian talent with a second offer expected to be submitted soon.
Another player under consideration is Gabri Veiga, with Le10sport reporting that Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, and Tottenham also show interest. Veiga has a €40 million release clause, according to Celta Vigo president Carlos Mourino, who admitted they cannot prevent his departure.
