Chelsea edge closer to signing Seria A Champion and this could be a gamechanger; Kepa reacts.
Onana is having the time of his life and he could be heading to Chelsea by Summer and he is about to win the UCL if fate permits.
The 27-year-old remains a priority target for Chelsea, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal across the line. Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga have been rather unconvincing this season. In addition, Mendy has been linked to the move away from Stamford Bridge.
Newly-appointed Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino needs to bring in a reliable goalkeeper, and Onana would be a quality acquisition. The Cameroonian goalkeeper has proven his quality in Inter Milan, helping them reach the final of the Champions League. He has the ability to transform Chelsea at the back.
The reported €50 million asking price seems reasonable for a player of his ability, and Chelsea must look to get the deal done. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career and could make an immediate impact in the Premier League. He could also sort out Chelsea’s goalkeeping position for the foreseeable future.
The Blues endured a disappointing season this year, finishing in the bottom half. They will be hoping to bounce back strongly and challenge for major trophies next year. The opportunity to join a big club like Chelsea could be a tempting proposition for Onana. And the Blues have the financial resources to offer him a lucrative contract as well.
Meanwhile, the report claims that Chelsea have a number of fringe players they could involve in the operation to bring down the €50 million asking price for the Inter Milan star. Romelu Lukaku is currently on loan at the Italian club, and the Belgian international could be involved in the transfer if Inter Milan are willing to sign him permanently.
