The Chelsea their best transfer market is not coming together, and the fact is that the London team has gone through numerous frustrated signings. Although it is true that they continue to have a great squad at Stamford Bridge, it is also true that they are currently without a reference ‘9’ in attack, mainly due to two mistakes that the blue squad could pay dearly for, as both the signings of werner like Lukakuabove all, they have become a difficult pufo to correct.
The German striker Timo Wernercame from RB Leipzig for 53 million euros. The German had a great season that surprised many teams and it was Chelsea who finally managed to convince the Bundesliga team to sign the striker. Now, Werner is very close to leaving, for around 30 million euros, back to Leipzig. Although it is true that he has given a good performance during the two seasons in London, the blues expected more from the German and have lost money in his operation.
Lukaku, the ‘great signing’ who ended up being a failure
But the truth is that, without a doubt, few operations have been as frustrating as that of Romelu Lukakuwhich came with the poster of superstar back to the Premier League, closed as a magnificent operation, although very expensive, by Chelsea with which those from Stamford Bridge achieved the incorporation of one of the best strikers in the world, from the Inter de Milan for nothing more and nothing less than 113 million euros.
The Belgian striker, however, soon confessed that he was not comfortable in Thomas Tuchel’s team and that he regretted leaving for England to join the blues. Naturally, problems began, both in terms of performance and internally and externally at the British club. So much so that, finally, Lukaku has left on loan back to Italy, to his old team, Inter Milan, and does not seem to want to return after an operation in which, without a doubt, Chelsea will lose a lot of money, since the value of the Belgian has dropped considerably.
Now, the English team finds itself without a guaranteed reference ‘9’ and the clearest opportunities on the market are running out with the passing of days, with the signings of the most important strikers, such as Erling Haaland or Darwin Nuñez, being closed. Therefore, Chelsea is forced to look for a new guaranteed striker, a task, as we say, increasingly complicated.
