![]() ![]() The last candidate on our list is a left-of-centre name but one that might fit the requirements at Chelsea perfectly. But with Die Werkself uninterested in selling Schick, a move to Chelsea might not be on the cards. And his qualities would make Schick an upgrade on Lukaku, especially in Thomas Tuchel’s system. That said, Chelsea will hope to convince him to ditch the Bundesliga club by signing him. Schick is going nowhere this summer, with Bayer Leverkusen grabbing a firm hold of their star striker. However, the prospect of playing UEFA Champions League football may tip the scales in Chelsea’s favour, as compared to Arsenal. But Chelsea will not be the only club chasing the Inter Milan striker’s signature, with Arsenal also keen on signing him this summer. Martinez’s ability to drift wide to bring his teammates into the attacking moves should also align with Tuchel’s setup, ensuring a more fluid offensive gameplay. While passing is not the Argentine international’s strong suit, he can find a teammate with a long pass and carries the ball much better than his former strike partner. While Martinez has primarily played in a 3-5-2 formation at Inter Milan, he has the qualities to better adapt to Thomas Tuchel’s preferred system at Chelsea than Lukaku ever managed. And in helping Lukaku return to his old stomping ground, the Blues could land a world-class replacement without burdening Inter Milan. With the Nerazzurri in a world of trouble financially, signing Romelu Lukaku will be a tall order, especially with Chelsea unlikely to let the Belgian international go for cheap. But a move to Chelsea could be an attractive option for Lautaro Martinez, even though he has suggested that he wants to remain at Inter Milan beyond the summer transfer window. The first option on our list would represent the simplest solution for all parties involved, apart from perhaps the potential target himself. For both sides, it was clear that we wanted to continue working together.Lautaro Martinez Will Lautaro Martinez celebrate a move to Chelsea?

He has great technique, he is a great header of the ball, so skilful and for us, it's a massive thing that he extended his contract. We saw it during the European Championships and then he played another fantastic season in the Bundesliga. Five years ago, we would probably just sell them. We want to keep them for perhaps one or two years longer. "We want to improve as a club but also with our players. Firstly, it was really important to show commitment from our side," he said. Schick and Diaby scored a combined 37 Bundesliga goals to fire Leverkusen back into the Champions League at the end of last season.ĩ0min has long reported of interest from the Premier League in the duo - particularly of Newcastle's in Diaby - but Rolfes has insisted Leverkusen are keen on growing as a club and they are crucial to their future.ĭiscussing Schick, Rolfes said: "We knew on that position, that there are not a lot of players operating at Patrik's level. Bayer Leverkusen's managing director of sport Simon Rolfes has revealed that he is aware of interest from Newcastle United in star players Patrik Schick and Moussa Diaby, but they have not received offers for them and are not thinking of entertaining them anyway. ![]()
