Chelsea discuss another transfer raid on Manchester City after success of Cole Palmer deal

According to Simon Phillips, Chelsea have been having internal discussions about a potential surprise transfer move for Manchester City attacking midfielder Jack Grealish.

Chelsea has previously made successful deals with Man City, signing Cole Palmer last summer and Raheem Sterling the year before.

Grealish is being considered as a potential option for Chelsea, although nothing is advanced yet.

While Chelsea fans would have eagerly welcomed Grealish a few years ago, his performance at the Etihad Stadium hasn’t quite met expectations.

Although the Palmer deal proved to be a brilliant move for Chelsea, it’s uncertain if pursuing a high-profile player like Grealish would yield the same success for the club.

While the 28-year-old could bring valuable experience to Chelsea’s young team, transitioning from a successful City side to a potentially leading role at Stamford Bridge might pose challenges for him.

However, the prospect of more playing time could be appealing to Grealish, considering his limited opportunities under Pep Guardiola, and he would likely secure a starting position at Chelsea.

Phillips’ report also mentions Xavi Simons as a potential addition to Chelsea, offering another exciting option to bolster the squad, which has faced challenges this season.

If Grealish indeed moves this summer, it will be intriguing to see if other clubs express interest in him, potentially including those able to provide European football opportunities.
