As known, the 27-year-old defender made his professional debut at the London club exactly 10 years ago (2012), so now, after a great journey in the Premier League, Chelsea wants him back. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, this transfer is almost a reality.
The sports journalist reported that Manchester City has demanded a total of 41 million euros from Chelsea, the same amount they bought him from the 'Blues' in 2020. Now everything is in the hands of the London club, who will decide whether or not to pay that amount.
Remember that Raheem Sterling's sale was recently completed for 45 million pounds sterling plus additional 10 million. Therefore, this will be the second player that Chelsea snatches from the current Premier League champion.
On the other hand, Manchester City decided to do business in this transfer market and, besides selling Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal, they bought Julián Álvarez from River Plate and the most coveted forward of the moment: Erling Haaland. Without a doubt, they are preparing to finally win the Champions League.
