According to reports, Chelsea is getting closer to signing Tosin Adarabioyo, who has connections to Manchester United.
Under new manager Enzo Maresca, the 26-year-old is expected to be the Blues’ first summer acquisition. After choosing not to have his contract extended, Adarabioyo, who played for Fulham for four seasons, will depart Craven Cottage at the end of this month.
After it was known that Raphael Varane was leaving, United was said to have shown interest in the defender. Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United were also rumored to be interested in a trade.
It looks like he’s heading to Stamford Bridge instead. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea has emerged as the front-runner to sign him, and talks to seal a deal are reportedly nearing completion.
Thiago Silva left after his contract expired, and this is what happened next. The Brazilian, who was a four-year Chelsea employee, played his final match on the final day of the season for Chelsea against Bournemouth.
Finding a new player to take Varane’s place is now United’s responsibility. Manager Erik ten Hag emphasized how crucial it is to bring in a striker, midfielder, and defense this summer.
He stated to VI, “We must get a second striker in the summer. And everything will seem wonderful once again if we can recruit a new central midfield player to replace Varane.
“If the team remains fit we can try and aim for top four again.”
