According to Sky Sport Germany, representatives of the London club have already initiated contact with the agent of the 22-year-old player. However, there has not yet been any contact between the clubs, which will take place after an agreement is reached with the player himself.

But before inviting another newcomer, Chelsea needs to sell Christopher Nkunku or Joao Felix first.
