In recent years, Chelsea has dared on the La Liga market several times and they will do this again this summer while driving their efforts to sign a new striker.
It is no secret that Chelsea wants to sign an upgrade about Nicolas Jackson, who has been hot and cold since his arrival from Villarreal in the summer of 2023.
In fact, they could follow exactly the same route, because football transfers have reported that Chelsea is watching a summer movement for the Villarreal striker Thierno Barry. The French star signed at FC Basel last summer for a reimbursement of € 12 million, but he could already be on his way to the Premier League, because the London Club is supposed to make an offer in the region of € 40 million.
Chelsea has spent more than € 55 million in the last few summers to Villarreal players (Jackson and Filip Jorgensen), and they could now be about to send more money to the yellow submarine. However, officials in La Ceramica would certainly not be willing to distance themselves from Barry, who registered nine goals and three assists in his first season in Spanish football.
Chelsea believes that Barry has unused potential, but Villarreal will also share that faith, so they will not be willing to renounce their striker. Ultimately, it can come down to the question of whether the side of Marcelino Garcia Toral can guarantee qualification for the Champions League of next season, because their chances of retaining the services of the 22-year-old can depend on which European competition they play in.
