A report in February mentioned that Chelsea was among several international clubs, including Brighton & Hove Albion, FC Brentford, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Como 1907, showing interest in FSV Mainz 05 defender Kacper Potulski. TV expert Tomasz Hajto told the 'Allgemeine Zeitung' that his contacts have indicated Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen are also monitoring the 18-year-old, and he added that other clubs from England and Italy are interested as well. The player has experienced irregular playing time, which has caused some frustration in his camp. Despite the interest, Mainz is in a strong position as Potulski's contract runs until 2028 and reportedly contains no release clause.
