He Chelsea is already thinking about 2025. The London team, which is in third place in the Premier League, began to move ahead of next year: the Blues would look for a figure from the Old Continent to play alongside Moisés Caicedo in the cast led by the Italian Enzo Maresca and which is one of the great revelations in this campaign in England.

As it seeks to get closer to leader Liverpool and is first in the league phase of the Conference League, Chelsea officials are focusing on the next signings for the team. AND One of the areas that is a priority to reinforce is the middle of the field and that is why they are looking for a new partner for Niño Moi, one of the figures of this season.

According to the CalcioMercato portal, specialists in transfers, The Blues have in their portfolio one of the most outstanding footballers who are playing in Italy’s Serie A. In fact, there is already speculation that they will have to pay a fortune to hire Caicedo’s future partner at the axis of Maresca’s scheme.

It’s about Dutch Tijani Reijndersmidfielder Milan. The midfielder, who has just played in a great European Championship and was a figure in Rossonero’s victory against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League, is valued at around 50,000,000 dollarsalthough the Italian club would ask for much more to get rid of a key player.

In principle, Reijnders’ arrival would be for next seasonalthough the first contacts with Milan will be in this transfer window, which will open in January. In this campaign, Chelsea has already spent more than $250,000,000 on purchases and would not make a large outlay in January.

Formed by the Zwolle and FC Twente youth teams, the Dutchman is 26 years old and had a late explosion in his career. He is an all-round midfielder, who is characterized by defending and attacking: he has similar characteristics to Enzo Fernández, Caicedo’s current teammate in the Blues.

Reijnders’ level at Milan is so good that not only Chelsea is interested in signing the midfielder, who in 24/25 has accumulated 18 games, in which he scored seven goals and distributed three assists. In the same CalcioMercato report they assure that the great competitor that the Blues will have will be one of their great rivals… Tottenham also want the midfielder.

With a contract until mid-2028, Italy reports that the midfielder is very close to signing an extension of his contract with a significant increase in his salary. “I haven’t signed yet, but we almost did it”he said in the last hours.
