According to former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown, who told Football Insider, Chelsea are preparing a move to sign Gabriel Gudmundsson from Leeds this summer. It is understood that Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso was frustrated by the sale of Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid, and the club is now seeking a new left-back. Brown believes that the West London club are considering Gudmundsson following an impressive debut campaign in the Premier League.

According to Team Talk, Chelsea enquired to Leeds about the possibility of signing Gabriel Gudmundsson and received a swift response.

According to Expressen, Chelsea have a genuine interest in Gabriel Gudmundsson and are preparing a sizeable offer. The player is of great interest to Xabi Alonso, who has been given a significant role in the club's transfer decisions. Leeds United have no desire to sell Gudmundsson and would only consider a very sizeable offer. Gudmundsson's willingness to move has not been explained, but it is understood that the player is settled at Leeds and is grateful to them for his career progression. It is reported that Chelsea are not afraid to spend a large amount of money if they pursue the player aggressively.

Gabriel Gudmundsson is one of the candidates to replace Marc Cucurella at Chelsea after a strong season with Leeds United. Leeds United is willing to cooperate on a deal for an offer that is considered suitable. Chelsea's interest is currently described as not being a priority, and Gudmundsson's contract with his club runs until 2029.
