Sources reveal that Chelsea are monitoring Conrad Harder with regard to a potential future move. Harder is currently on loan at Strasbourg from RB Leipzig. Chelsea and their multi-club partners BlueCo have long admired Harder, with talks having taken place over years. Chelsea are producing detailed reports on him regularly as they track him. According to sources, Harder is a consideration for Chelsea for a future move.

Chelsea have secured Conrad Harder after their sister club Strasbourg signed the striker on loan from RB Leipzig until the end of the 2026/2027 season. The deal does not include a purchase option. BlueCo has been following the 21-year-old since his time at Nordsjaelland. The player has 13 caps and 4 goals for Denmark's U21 team. The forward was previously linked with a transfer to Stamford Bridge in early 2025 while he was at Sporting CP. According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea has been interested in him for years. The transfer follows a difficult spell for Harder at the Bundesliga club, which had signed him for €24 million the previous summer, and the loan allows BlueCo to assess whether he can still fulfil his potential. Transfermarkt lists Harder's current market value at €17.00m. His transfer from Nordsjælland to Sporting CP in September 2024 was for a reported €19 million. While at the Portuguese club in January 2025, reports linked Chelsea with a potential move valued between €42 million and €50 million.
