Chelsea reportedly want to sign all three of Enzo Fernandez, Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice in a potential amazing triple swoop.
According to the Evening Standard, the Blues are ready to pay Fernandez’s £105million release clause at Benfica.
The report adds that Chelsea’s interest in the Benfica midfielder doesn’t interfere with their interest in Borussia Dortmund’s Bellingham or West Ham’s Rice.
Chelsea want Fernandez, Bellingham and Rice
This latest speculation suggests Graham Potter’s side want a huge revamp in the centre of the park.
In our view, it’ll be almost impossible to pull off a deal for the aforementioned trio in 2023, who are three of the world’s very best young central midfielders.
However, it’s excellent to see the Blues shopping at the top table.
According to The Sun last week, Chelsea are among the clubs interested in signing £130million-rated star Bellingham from German side Dortmund.
Bellingham, 19, is a box-to-box midfielder already shining on the biggest stage for club and country.
In addition, 23-year-old Rice is an all-action central midfielder that’s been performing so consistently in the Premier League for several years now.
Journalist Ben Jacobs recently reported that Chelsea think they may be able to steal Rice away from rivals West Ham for £75million.
Any side that managed to sign all of Fernandez, Bellingham and Rice would have their midfield nailed for the next decade.
For us, signing just one of them would be some achievement.
