Episode Details

Chelsea are in hot pursuit of 18-year-old wonderkid Kerim Alajbegovic from Bayer Leverkusen, offering a staggering €40 million plus bonuses — a windfall after Leverkusen originally sold him for €2M and reacquired him for €8M. Though no contract talks have begun, ex-Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso is personally wooing Alajbegovic with a vision of Chelsea’s future, even suggesting a loan stint abroad for seasoning. With Chelsea’s recent €138M splurge on Morgan Rogers, a loan seems likely — and Alajbegovic will still report to Leverkusen’s pre-season, likely sidelined to avoid injury ahead of this blockbuster deal.
