Ballon d’Or winner and Liverpool legend Chelsea rekindles interest in; £51 million striker also on Blues’ list
Mauricio Pochettino allegedly has three interesting alternatives in mind for the striker he wants to add to his Chelsea team this summer. Victor Osimhen, the great player at Napoli, is Pochettino’s top target, as exclusively disclosed by TEAMtalk. However, the Blues may pass on him due to interest from Paris Saint-Germain, who are looking to replace Kylian Mbappe. Chelsea is currently searching the market for substitutes, and there are rumors circulating from Brazil that they may make a comeback with two January window targets. O Dia claims that the Blues’ management is considering legendary veteran forwards Karim Benzema and Roberto Firmino, amid reports that the two are dissatisfied in Saudi Arabia. Last month, Benzema was itching to go back to Europe, but his pay of almost £3.3 million a week prevented him from doing so. At the time, the Al Ittihad star was linked to Chelsea, Arsenal, and Lyon. Despite winning the Ballon d’Or in 2022 for his part in Real Madrid’s victories in La Liga and the Champions League, he isn’t having fun playing football in Saudi Arabia. In January, Firmino—who signed with Al-Ahli in the summer—was said to be heading to Chelsea. The former forward for Liverpool is rumored to wish to go back to Europe. According to O Dia, Chelsea is prepared to step up their pursuit of the two seasoned strikers once more at the end of the current campaign.Chelsea is keeping an eye on Pedro, a striker for Flamengo, in addition to Firmino and Benzema as potential Osimhen substitutes. According to O Dia, Chelsea is “interested” in the gifted 26-year-old. For the Brazilian powerhouses, he has five goals in five games, and other teams have taken notice of his performances. According to the source, Pedro’s contract has a release clause worth €60 million (£51 million), but Flamengo is open to proposals around €25 million (£21 million). The attacker signed with Flamengo in 2020 and has since played 221 games for the team, tallying 23 assists and 107 goals. He now contributes an amazing 0.59 goals on average each game. Pedro would undoubtedly need to adjust to playing in the Premier League, but if he could maintain his current level of play in England, he might end up being a useful addition for Chelsea. In light of this, it will be intriguing to watch whether Chelsea concentrates their efforts on Pedro, Firmino, or Benzema in the event that they are unable to get Osimhen in the summer.
