€35m Deal? Chelsea deal for ex-Salzburg player becomes more concrete
The Bosnian spent last season at FC Red Bull Salzburg, and could soon be playing at Stamford Bridge.
He was one of the few bright spots of the past season at FC Red Bull Salzburg. Leverkusen signing Kerim Alajbegovic (18) enchanted the Salzburg fans in Wals-Siezenheim time and again.
Bayer drew the logical conclusion, bringing the two-million-euro sale back under the Bayer Cross for eight million euros.
However, the Bosnian World Cup participant might only stay there briefly. Chelsea has recently been linked >>>
Chelsea are Favourites
According to "The Telegraph", the trail to Stamford Bridge is becoming more concrete. The "Blues" are reportedly favourites to sign him. There is talk of 30 million pounds (approx. 35 million euros).
Besides Chelsea, Atalanta Bergamo, Juventus Turin, AS Roma and AC Fiorentina are also said to be interested in the ex-Salzburg player.
Leverkusen has the Bosnian under contract until 2031, so there's little pressure to let him go again. However, the re-signing presumably hides a significant transfer profit in the end.
