Chelsea are looking to sign Spanish attacker Ander Barrenetxea and hope to do so in the summer. They are preparing a proposal of approximately €80 million. The Spanish club will not want to sell Barrenetxea, who is a key player, but the €80 million offer will be difficult to refuse. It is uncertain whether Chelsea will submit an official offer. Barrenetxea could be tempted to join Chelsea.

Chelsea and Manchester United have been monitoring Real Sociedad's 24-year-old Spanish winger Ander Barrenetxea this season. Both clubs view him as suitable for their projects for the upcoming year and would not have any economic difficulties in funding a significant transfer. Barrenetxea, who joined Real Sociedad in July 2019, has a contract that runs until 2030. Real Sociedad has a recent history of completing major sales to the Premier League, having established connections with English clubs.
