Chelsea Pursuing Expensive Transfer but Eyeing Affordable Alternative
Chelsea are aiming to secure a transfer for Atletico Madrid striker Samu Omorodion this summer, although it appears the deal may come at a high cost.
The promising young Spanish player has been on Chelsea’s radar for some time. Recent reports indicate that Atletico Madrid is demanding up to €70m for Omorodion, but Chelsea hopes to negotiate a deal closer to €55m, according to Give Me Sport.
While Omorodion shows great potential, Chelsea is cautious about paying a high price for the relatively inexperienced 20-year-old, who still needs to prove his consistency and capability to start regularly for a top-tier club.

Samu Omorodion to Chelsea?
In contrast, Give Me Sport suggests that Chelsea could consider Lille striker Jonathan David, available for a much lower fee of €25m this summer.
Omorodion or David transfer for Chelsea?
Although David may not rank among the elite strikers, he has a respectable track record in Ligue 1 and might perform better with the quality of players at S
tamford Bridge.
