Chelsea are reportedly working on a deal to sign promising Spanish forward Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid.

This potential transfer comes in the wake of Atletico Madrid’s significant move to secure Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez for £81.5 million. The sale of Omorodion is expected to help Atletico finance this high-profile acquisition.

Atletico Madrid’s Strategic Moves

Atletico Madrid reached an agreement to sign Julian Alvarez from Manchester City on Monday. The deal is structured with an initial payment of £64.4 million and an additional £17.1 million in potential add-ons, bringing the total value to £81.5 million. Personal terms with Alvarez have been settled, paving the way for the Argentine forward’s move to Madrid.

Omorodion’s Journey

Samu Omorodion, 20, began his tenure with Atletico Madrid last summer, shortly after making an impactful La Liga debut for Granada, where he scored against Atletico. Following his signing, Omorodion was loaned out to Alaves, where he demonstrated his potential by netting eight goals in 35 appearances over the last season. Currently, Omorodion is showcasing his skills at the Olympics, contributing to Spain’s run to the final with one goal so far.

Chelsea’s Summer Transfer Activity

Chelsea’s pursuit of Omorodion is part of an active summer in the transfer market for the London club. They have invested approximately £115 million in new signings, including midfielders Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga, and Omari Kellyman, goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Caleb Wiley, winger Estevao Willian, and striker Marc Guiu.

Meanwhile, the club has also seen several departures. Defenders Ian Maatsen and Lewis Hall, along with forward Omari Hutchinson, have been sold. Additionally, Hakim Ziyech, Malang Sarr, and Thiago Silva have left on free transfers. Midfielder Conor Gallagher is set to join Atletico Madrid for £33 million, contributing further to Atletico’s funding for the Alvarez deal.

The Uncertain Future of Romelu Lukaku

Among the uncertainties at Chelsea is the future of Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku has spent the past two seasons on loan in Italy and his next move remains undecided.
