Chelsea have been handed the chance to sign one of their major summer 2022 targets after Barcelona's continued financial problems leaves little choice but to sell off assets. In what appears to be a repeat of the summer window, the Catalan side need to flog a star or two in order to afford their new plans.
With a squad piled high full of attackers, Chelsea may well be keen to re-establish talks with one of the players on the outside of that. Although the Blues themselves need to sell off a host of their own forwards they will also be open to deals that emerge.
Christopher Nkunku will join for the new season but a new striker is high on the priority list whilst the potential sale of five first team attackers would create room for more additions. Raheem Sterling, who once again failed to impress during the 3-1 loss to Arsenal on Tuesday, could be in that group.
