Earlier this week it was reported that Chelsea had failed in their first attempt to sign talented winger Yeremay Hernandez, with a €10 million bid rejected by Deportivo La Coruna. However, the Premier League giants were undeterred and have now returned with a new proposal.
According to Relevo, the new offer received by Deportivo is 12 million euros, which is closer to the asking price for Yeremay. It is also reported that Cesc Fabregas' Como has also made a bid for the 22-year-old, albeit lower than Chelsea's. Meanwhile, Napoli have also shown interest as a possible replacement for the now departed Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
It is not certain that Yeremay will serve the rest of the season at Deportivo if a bid is accepted, as Chelsea could reject a loan return request and send him to sister club Strasbourg until the summer. That will certainly be a consideration for the Segunda side as they need him in their fight against relegation.
