Chelsea have already defeated Palmeiras 2-1 in the quarter-finals and now face Fluminense for a spot in Sunday’s final in New York. Despite an underwhelming tournament so far, Enzo Maresca’s side will be confident heading into the semi-final clash against the Brazilian outfit.
Off the pitch, the Blues have been active in the transfer market, welcoming several new signings. However, player departures are expected to balance the books. According to Fichajes via CaughtOffside, rivals Manchester United have expressed interest in Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku. The French international, who joined Chelsea for £52 million just two years ago, could reportedly be available for around £35 million. While no official bid has been made, United’s interest adds a dramatic twist to the summer window and puts pressure on Chelsea to make key squad decisions soon.
