Matt Law of The Telegraph reports that Chelsea is trying to finalize a £40 million deal for Andre Onana. The French team wants to make a lot of changes, including hiring Mauricio Pochettino as their next manager. Since that drug ban-related debacle, Andre Onana’s career has made a complete recovery. While he was suspended, despite widespread interest in the media, no significant teams approached him.
Despite this, Inter Milan gambled and signed the Cameroonian player for free. The 27-year-old Serie A standout Samir Handanovic has been overtaken as the team’s starter in goal. However, with Chelsea lurking in the background, his future at the club is uncertain. The 27-year-old Serie A standout has been pinpointed as Chelsea’s top target for the role. The Blues are hoping to complete a £40 million move for the Cameroonian before the season ends. The Blues are eager to get their business done early, so a deal seems closer than ever.
What’s the matter?
According to the rumours, Manchester United was also a contender. However, it seems like Chelsea has had the upper hand in the bidding war for the 27-year-old Serie A player. Due to upcoming roster changes, the Blues will need to bring in a new goalkeeper this summer. If Edouard Mendy and the club are unable to come to terms on a new contract, he may leave. Kepa Arrizabalaga was also on the trading block, with the club willing to listen to bids for the Spanish goalkeeper despite his astronomical contract.
Therefore, Kepa may decide to remain with the club despite facing stiff competition for the starting position from Onana. The fact that the 27-year-old Serie A star is willing to play in the Premier League should inspire Chelsea to make a bid for him. If the £40 million price tag for Onana is correct, Inter Milan will make a huge profit despite their dire financial straits.

At the same time, Mauricio Pochettino seems to be on the verge of being hired as Chelsea’s next manager. The addition of Onana will guarantee the starting position. It is thought that Chelsea will also be reducing their roster by a few players.
According to Sky Sports writer Dharmesh Sheth, the agreement for Chelsea to sign Kendry Paez is very, very near’ at this point. The 16-year-old is widely regarded as one of the sport’s most promising young players. Since Todd Boehly became Chelsea’s owner, the club has actively sought out the world’s top young players in an effort to strengthen its pipeline and its first team. According to Transfermarkt, eleven of their acquisitions this season (including Mykhailo Mudryk, Ezno Fernandez, Benoit Badiashile, and Carney Chukwuemeka) have been 22 or younger.
