The highly regarded midfielder Matheus Franca of Flamengo is also a target for Chelsea in a £25 million move. A number of European clubs have expressed interest in the young Brazilian after a standout season with Flamengo.

Once coveted by Newcastle and more recently by Crystal Palace and West Ham, Franca is now a target for Chelsea, according to Mail Sport. Franca began his professional career in the Flamengo academy and made his club debut in 2021.

Flamengo issued a hands-off caution to Franca’s potential suitors back in January, but for the right price, that warning might soften this summer.
