Chelsea are reportedly keen on signing three Argentine under-17 World Cup stars Claudio Echeverri, Agustin Ruberto and Ian Subiabre.
A report from 90min has claimed that Chelsea are chasing three Argentine prodigies, Claudio Echeverri, Agustin Ruberto and Ian Subiabre. But they will face competition from clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid. Apparently, Premier League rivals Manchester City are keeping tabs on them as well.
Claudio Echeverri has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, and the 17-year-old attacking midfielder could prove to be a quality long-term addition. Chelsea could certainly use more goals and creativity in their side, and the 17-year-old could develop into a key player for them in the coming seasons.
Manchester City are keen on signing him as well, and they have an existing relationship with his club River Plate. So, Chelsea might find it difficult to lure him to Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Agustin Ruberto and Ian Subiabre are highly rated in South America as well.
All three players have a bright future ahead of them, and they could be quality long-term investments for Chelsea if they can get the deal done. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Real Madrid have a proven track record of nurturing young talents into established stars. The three players could be tempted to join the Spanish heavyweights if there is an opportunity ahead of them.
Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and they might not be able to compete with the top clubs for established stars. Investing in talented young players for reasonable prices is the right way forward for them right now.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have signed a number of quality young players from South America recently and players like Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes have proven to be exceptional additions. The three Argentine players could prove to be interesting additions for Real Madrid as well.
All three clubs could help them develop into top-class players in the near future, and it remains to be seen where they end up. They must look to join a club where there is a clear pathway to the first team and a clear plan for their development in the coming seasons.
