Crystal Palace is looking into the possibility of signing Chelsea players Trevoh Chalobah and Carney Chukwuemeka.
Chalobah, who is 25 years old, has been told by Chelsea that he is no longer needed at the club and has been removed from first-team training. Crystal Palace has been keeping an eye on him for over a year and even considered making an offer for him in January.
As Newcastle shows interest in Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace is considering Chalobah and Maxence Lacroix from Wolfsburg as potential replacements for the center-back position. Chelsea values Chalobah at £25 million, but negotiations could lead to a compromise.
In addition to Chalobah, Crystal Palace is also looking at Carney Chukwuemeka. The 20-year-old midfielder, who previously played for Aston Villa, has a reported release clause of £40 million in his contract. Despite his limited playing time last season due to injuries, Sporting Director Dougie Freedman is interested in bringing him to the team.
Negotiations between Crystal Palace and Chelsea are expected to be challenging due to the high transfer fees involved. Palace may have to break their record transfer fee to secure Chukwuemeka from Chelsea. The talks between the two clubs are likely to intensify as the summer transfer window deadline approaches.
Furthermore, Crystal Palace recently concluded their pre-season with a 1-1 draw against Nantes, with Kamada scoring in the finale. The team is also aiming for European ambitions, which could be bolstered by potential signings like Chalobah and Chukwuemeka. The fans are eagerly waiting to see how the negotiations unfold and if these new additions can contribute to the team’s success in the upcoming season.
