Chelsea is prepared to shell out a lot of cash for a €100 million La Liga player.

Chelsea is apparently ready to acquire Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, according to the caughtoffside report. According to a report from Mundo Deportivo via Sport Witness, the 26-year-old has been linked to a transfer away from the Spanish team and may fetch up to €100 million.

Although Barcelona is reluctant to let go of the player, they would take an offer of €100 million.

Given their current financial struggles, it is not surprising that the giants of Spain would be open to making a sizable bid to acquire a valuable player.

He is the kind of player Chelsea could utilise to set the tone of the game and inject creativity in the centre of the park.

De Jong is currently performing at an elite level, and with more experience, he may become much better. It’s unclear whether Chelsea is willing to shell out a lot of money for him, since he has previously been linked to a transfer to the Premier League.

They have the financial clout to pay a premium for De Jong, and they have recently spent comparable amounts for players like Enzo Fernandez.

If Chelsea wants to contend for big prizes once again, they need players of the highest calibre. They had a dismal season the previous year and ended in the middle of the table this season. They may be transformed by players like De Jong, who would enable them to push for the top of the league.
