Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has confessed he has spoken with fellow Argentine Paulo Dybala over a possible summer switch to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea has acquired a new coach in Mauricio Pochetino and they are poised to hit the ground as soon as the season commences.
There have been high-profile players on their radar amid the transfers. One player that has been tipped to make a surprise Chelsea signing is Roma and Argentine Forward Paolo Dybala. There are more speculations around, which indicate that the player's agent has spoken with the Chelsea management and that it is likely that they could sign him.
It has been reported that Dybala's €12 million bargain clause with a club outside of Serie A has piqued the interest of a number of clubs, with Chelsea reported to have added the Roma forward to their lengthy shortlist of potential targets. Blues defender Thiago Silva recently fueled the fire by publicly urging Dybala to make the move to Chelsea, and now teammate Fernandez has followed suit.
"I saw something about that. We’ll see. I hope he comes [to Chelsea]," Fernandez told Ole of Chelsea and Dybala's links. "I talked to him and told him that I’m waiting for him to share a barbecue or something."
Dybala has even been asked about the rumors, but recently did his best to quash all speculation.
"I’m motivated for pre-season. I’m happy at Roma," Dybala told LaRoma24. "I'm staying here."
Chelsea has already signed both Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson this summer. Thelatter made his first appearance in training on Tuesday, and the Blues are still exploring their attacking options in the transfer window.
Montpellier striker Elye Wahi has been discussed, perhaps in relation to sister side Strasbourg. Lyon starlet Rayki has plenty of admirers at Stamford Bridge. The current focus remains on discussing a deal for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo. Romelu Lukaku's desire to leave for Inter has led to drawn-out negotiations.
