According to Matt Law via the London Is Blue podcast, Chelsea are in the mix to sign Jude Bellingham next summer. The Blues are ready to make a mega offer for the coveted 19-year-old Liverpool target, but any move will prove complicated, as per the journalist.
Chelsea could embark on a big summer window and bring in players for the next phase of their squad building. New owner Todd Boehly is keen to build an exciting squad for future seasons. They are drawing up an exciting list of potential targets for the next window and summer.
Having spent significantly in Boehly’s first summer window with the signings of Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana. The reports of links to many high-profile players like Christopher Nkunku and Declan Rice suggest the previous window was just the beginning of things to come.
They have reportedly agreed on a deal with RB Leipzig for Nkunku and are on the case for Rice. Another name featured on their list is that of 19-year-old Liverpool target Jude Bellingham. The English teenager is setting the world alight with his performances for Borussia Dortmund.

Dortmund are not about to let him leave on the cheap and knows the growing interest could ensue in a bidding war next summer. Liverpool remains keen and are reportedly in touch with the player’s camp.
However, Chelsea remain prepared to pay a considerable sum to secure Bellingham, but Matt Law suggests money is not the complicated part. Clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Liverpool are expected to make giant bids, and Chelsea will reportedly match any offer that arrives.
Much will depend on Bellingham’s preference, which currently points to Liverpool. Chelsea could try hard to sign the 19-year-old next summer, as his arrival would prove a massive sign of intent. From reports, it’s clear the Blues have a huge transfer budget for star names, and Bellingham is at the top of that list.
Whether they can convince Bellingham with their budding project remains the question. From how they have built this squad, it would be an attractive proposition for any player in world football.
