Reports say that Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are keeping a close eye on Chelsea's highly-rated young star, Josh Acheampong.
Both sides want to find a right back for the future, so another Blues academy graduate may leave.
Many people think the 18-year-old will be a big star at Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea might sell Acheampong to make money.
44 pros play for Chelsea, and the Profit and Sustainability Rules make academy graduates like Acheampong valuable. But the club's plan to sell academy grads has made the young players uncomfortable.
The best teams in Europe have noticed the situation, and according to The Independent, Real Madrid and PSG are now the favorites to sign Acheampong.
Real Madrid and PSG want to pay around €15 million for Acheampong, who can play center or right back.
Both teams seek solid backups to play 20 or more games a season. Acheampong would play more for either team than at Chelsea, where the squad is full and getting into the first team is harder.
The story says that the departure of other homegrown stars like Gallagher, Mason Mount, and maybe even Trevoh Chalobah has caused worry in Chelsea's academy, making many young players think about their futures.
Conor Gallagher will definitely play for Atletico Madrid.
According to Fabrizio Romano, a deal has been made for Chelsea defender Conor Gallagher to join Atletico Madrid for €42 million.
The transfer expert wrote on X, which used to be called Twitter, "Conor Gallagher to Atlético Madrid, here we go!"
"After reading late at night that he was given the go-ahead to join Atléti, he can move clubs."
"Gallagher signs a five-year deal, and Chelsea pays €42 million for the English midfielder."
"Medical appointment set for WEDNESDAY."
