Chelsea not interested in signing Rafael Leao this summer
The Serie A giants are in their worst position yet in terms of bargaining power though, and it has been reported that he could be available for as little as £43m.
This will not be a deal Chelsea look to get over the line though. According to Striver, the Blues have no interest in signing Leao this summer, as well as Dusan Vlahovic, who is leaving Juventus this summer.
The report goes on to say that Chelsea are looking for a versatile attacker in the transfer market, and they do not see Leao as an optimum option.
Leao has been a consistent force in front of goal for a number of seasons now, something that cannot be said for Chelsea’s wide options.
The summer signings of Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens combined for just one Premier League goal in their first season, and this needs addressing by the Blues in the transfer market.

Chelsea hone in on their attacking target this summer
Chelsea have identified a number of potential attacking signings, however one name continues to crop up in their search.

The Blues think they an advantage in the race for Rogers because of their ability to offer him a regular starting role in multiple positions.
Chelsea are also big fans of the versatility of Rogers, and will continue to monitor him during the upcoming World Cup.
