One more to the list, the 18 million signing that Maresca is looking for at Chelsea
Enzo Maresca has set his sights on a €18 million player as Chelsea looks to strengthen its squad further.
Chelsea continues its policy of betting on young promises and, under the management of Enzo Maresca, has set its sights on a new emerging talent: Stefanos Tzimas. The 18-year-old Greek striker, currently shining in the 2. Bundesliga with Nuremberg, has become a priority target for the London club.
Chelsea, known for its investment in young talent with the aim of building a long-term project, has identified Tzimas as a player with great potential. The young forward has had an explosive start to the season in the German second division, accumulating 7 goals in 13 matches, which has sparked the interest of several Premier League clubs.
According to 'Sky', in addition to Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle are also following Tzimas's footsteps. However, the player's contractual situation adds an interesting element to the equation. Tzimas belongs to PAOK Thessaloniki, but Nuremberg has a purchase option valued at 18 million euros.
This purchase option could become a business opportunity for Nuremberg. If the German club decides to exercise it, their plan would be to resell the player in the next summer transfer window, seeking to obtain a profit of between 3 and 5 million euros. This figure would not represent an obstacle for Premier League clubs, known for their financial power.
Chelsea's interest in Tzimas aligns with the club's philosophy of investing in young players with projection. The competition for the signing will be tough, with other English clubs also interested, but Chelsea seems willing to bid strongly for the young Greek striker.
The possible arrival of Tzimas at Chelsea would provide a new boost to the club's strategy of building a competitive team in the long term, betting on young talent and Enzo Maresca's vision. The player's contractual situation and the interest of other clubs mean that the outcome of this story is yet to be seen, but what is clear is that Stefanos Tzimas has become one of the names to watch in the next transfer market.
