The Chelsea He is the main promoter of the winter transfer market in Europe due to the high investment they have made and the multiple incorporations that have been added in recent days (Andrey Santos, Badiashile, Joao Félix, Mudryk, Madueke, David Datro Fofana…). But, despite this, the intention is to continue adding pieces and one of his main objectives is a right back.
The Blue team want a right-back who can take the place of Reece James, who has missed a lot of games through injury, and the main goal is bad taste. The Portuguese winger from Olympique de Lyon is the name that Todd Boehly likes the most, but the operation will not be easy at all (the French team is asking for between 35-40 million euros) so they have a plan B for the end of the market .
Chelsea’s plan B if they do not close the signing of Bad Taste
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have their sights on Tariq Lamptey in case they fail to close the incorporation of Malo Gusto in this winter transfer market.
Tariq Lamptey is one of England’s best young right-backs and has faded in importance at Brighton since the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi. He is an old acquaintance at the club as he was trained in the youth ranks until 2020, at which point he went to Brighton for €1.2m. His current contract ends in the summer of 2025 and his price is around 20 million euros.
