First player Todd Boehly wants to sign for Chelsea

Todd Boehly, Chelsea’s new owner, has revealed the first player he wants to sign for the club.

Chelsea intends to make Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele their first signing under Boehly, according to Mundo Deportivo. First player Todd Boehly wants to sign for Chelsea

Dembele’s contract with Barcelona expires next month, and he has a slew of suitors, including Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United.

Barcelona still has a slim chance of agreeing to a new contract with Dembele, but their dire financial situation makes that unlikely, and Chelsea is now in a position to seize the opportunity.

Dembele was on the verge of leaving Barcelona in January before a dramatic late U-turn, and he played a key role in his team’s improvement under manager Xavi, which helped them qualify for the Champions League.

The Blues are ready to do business again, with Boehly’s £4.25 billion takeover set to complete on Monday, after operating under a special licence granted by the UK Government since previous owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned in March.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is keen to strengthen in a number of areas this summer, but uncertainty over the futures of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, and Christian Pulisic means attacking reinforcements are top of the priority list.

Tuchel worked with Dembele at Borussia Dortmund.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
