Meanwhile, the Blues are preparing an offer for a Borussia Dortmund midfielder, as per journalist Ben Jacobs. Elsewhere, the London giants have reignited their interest in an Inter Milan defender and want to dive for him in January.

On that note, here’s a look at the key Chelsea transfer stories as on September 28, 2022:

Chelsea preparing offer for Jude Bellingham

Chelsea are preparing an offer for Jude Bellingham, Ben Jacobs has reported. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is generating attention from clubs around Europe, and the Blues are also interested in his signature.

Graham Potter is likely to sanction midfield reinforcements next summer, with both Jorginho and N’Golo Kante in the final year of their respective contract.

The London giants have their eyes on Bellingham, although the teenager is likely to cost a fortune. Chelsea are willing to offer a structured deal for the player according to Dortmund’s liking to jump ahead of the queue. However, the Blues are not the frontrunners for Bellingham’s signature.

Blues reignite interest in Denzel Dumfries

Chelsea have reignited their interest in Denzel Dumfries, according to Corriere dello Sport via Caught Offside.

The London giants have held an interest in the Dutch full-back for a while, but a move didn’t materialise this summer. The 26-year-old has been impressive for Inter Milan this season, scoring twice in nine appearances.

Dumfries thrives in the wing-back system that has been used at Stamford Bridge recently, making him a superb choice for the club. The Blues are willing to sign the player and loan him back to the Nerazzurri for the rest of the campaign.

Pat Nevin excited about Chelsea’s game against AC Milan

Pat Nevin is excited to see Chelsea lock horns with AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League on October 5 at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are bottom of Group E after two games, with one draw and a defeat, while the Rosonneri are at the top.

In his column for the club’s website, Nevin said that the game against the Serie A champions has historical significance.

He continued:

Nevin added that even though Potter won’t speak of it, the Milan midweek tie will be on the back of his mind.

Potter started his Stamford Bridge tenure with a draw against RB Salzburg in the Champions League.
