Chelsea has shown its flexible reinforcement strategy amidst the turbulence of the transfer market. The latest report from LondonFootball.com reveals two important movements in Chelsea's striker reinforcement: one is to try to reach an agreement with Newcastle to exchange Isaac for Madueke; the other is to continue to push forward with the negotiation of the loan of Napoli striker Ousmane.
Firstly, on the deal for Isak, the Swedish international's outstanding performances last season have undoubtedly sent his price tag soaring, rumored to have reached a staggering £200 million. Arsenal have also expressed interest in Isak, but the high transfer fee and Newcastle's hardline attitude make the deal look almost impossible. Chelsea have also tried to sign Isak before, but also encountered resistance from Newcastle. However, with the resolution of Newcastle's financial problems, Chelsea seem to have rekindled their interest in Isaac, and have put forward a proposal to use Madueke as a bargaining chip. This proposal, if successful, will not only bring Chelsea a highly effective goalscorer, but also bring fresh blood to the team's lineup.
On the other hand, Chelsea have not given up on their pursuit of Napoli striker Osmeen. Although Lukaku is still the target of Napoli, Chelsea still hope to bring Osmeen into the fold through a loan. The addition of Osmeen will further strengthen Chelsea's forward line and provide more options for the team in the new season.
